Extict A car...

[Barry Polley]

OK, So here I sit with a car that is virtualy useless except for bracket racing. Is this the BIG Bang Theory or what? WTH do we do now? I don't blame the guys with the new race cars. They have fast cars and want to race too. NHRA , Please take a good hard look at what you have created and make a change. I am only one but there is no way in hell we can compete at your level. You tell me what is next.

Just asking, what difference does it make?

He's got a pretty decent A/SA car, and he's done a lot to help other people race and learn. He's paid his dues, and goes by his real name, too.

He's just another good racer, trying to run a car he already owns, without going $100K in debt, and doing it the old fashioned way, working hard on it himself, instead of buying it all done.

There were 5 cars in B/SA And we were the 4th slowest. There were only 14 qualifying spots. So according to you we should have just gone home. How dare NHRA allow those mid motored, fiberglass bodied Corvettes in our class. They should have been put in a sports car class. RIGHT?
Well with a lot of luck and some great driving we won the class, the eliminator, and the W.R. Grace Cup.
It is amazing that when you think there is nothing left in a combo, somebody that doesn't agree finds something.
Other than class, how many heads up runs do you have? An awful lot of races have been won by the slowest car in the class.

Art, did any of those cars have you covered by a solid 5 tenths? Because a good traditional A car in decent air will run 10.0 or 10.1x most places. The new cars will run easy 9.5-9.6 in A in the same air in bracket mode.

Exactly Art but double that 3.25% . The class is still a performance based eliminator. Unless someone runs into a heads up with a new car the best shoe polish and start/finish racer will win.

Most of the package cars will be getting HP next week anyway, so it will shake itself out soon.

They happen quite a bit but not if you lay down and cry.
If you want to pout because you think you can't be the king of the class. You don't deserve to be.

I was not at Indy this year (tranmission is still apart) I look forward to the "Go Fast" race at Belle Rose next year. I think I can handle the package cars, At the very least I will try.

A tenth or 2 behind yes you can get lucky but 5 tenths to a full second.....Naaaaaaaaaaa! Not going to happen unless they red light,crash or blow up.
