Under the index for under a grand! - Page 26

Hey guys, I know that I've been pretty rough on the new car guys on this and other threads but, for the most part it's all been tongue-in-cheek kidding(and maybe a little butt busting).
The fact is that we need new cars as well as we need the old stuff if we're going to stay healthy as an Eliminator and I believe that Stock is probably the healthiest Eliminator in the NHRA. If anything, the new car guys should be busting us low class, no class and "Dime Rocket" types for not holding up our end. By my count, there were only 5 L/S and under cars in competition at Cecil County. That's pretty bad when you figure that there were 5 COPO Camaros there. C'mon guys, let's get cracking and get some more of those cheap, ugly, slow cars out there!

You watch... may be as many as 40 cars in the ET Enterprises/Buckeye S/SS Junior Stock Shootout at the Class Nationals next spring! They're out there... they just don't all show up at the same time and place.

Billy you will HAVE to agree that I hold up my end in Super Stock. At least as far as "cheap and ugly" goes, slow yes but not compared to the index..

Billy is right we need the new cars out there and on that note NHRA should allow more specs on the V6 Camaro, Mustang & Challengers they're all making over 300 horses plus, I've seen a couple of insurance write-off that would be perfect candidates for new affordable Stockers . Congratulation Billy but you really didn't need the pat on the back from us, just doing it is enough for you I'm sure. Claude Ruel

Billy,

Trying to do my part. Haven't had my slow car out at all this year. I ripped the power steering box off it and took the AC compressor, condensor and lines off it last weekend. Ron Seibenek is bringing me one of his headers to the Nationals next week. My car can run EF/SA in IHRA with a 15.90 index. Which with the next few changes, we might sniff it, maybe get within 3-4/10's. I can get into D/FS for NHRA, that 15.60 will be tough to do with an automatic car.

I am in the slow and ugly categorey.

They would be a boon for IHRA Pure Stock.

A pic of the "integrity" that Gary Simpers Jr. and I were able to give the 1K car to get thru tech and a pic of the Q timeslip.

A little lighter color 200 MPH tape like the old days and you would not even notice it at 90 MPH
