Re: Want to loose 3200 ugly pounds?
Well, let me tell you about Baton Rouge. I picked D/FIA to run only because there was only one D/FIA in the nation in the whole year last year and that person was from Michigan. So I ran that so I would not offend anyone. Only guy. So I ran what the car seemed to like. I think I went 4 or 5 rounds in a bracket race. No heads up---on purpose. So it was 1.70 under a very soft index. So what. Gee, what a deal. Purposely avoid any heads up and get hosed.

Re: Want to loose 3200 ugly pounds?
Well Ed, let me tell you. We have been working out these stock and ss cars since l958. And we learned plenty. And we applied what we learned to these new cars. Matter of fact I was in touch with the factory before the financial trouble about these cars. No one was more surprised than me when they actually made the cars. A 68 Hemi Dart today would have a 4 link, aluminum heads, efi (which did not exist back the, and neither did this crap they call pump gas), a Jerico, a two disc clutch and all the stuff we now have. Would you expect the manufacturers to build an old technology car? Did you know that the average stock/ss efi motor makes about 10 hp less than a carb? A comp motor makes about 20 less. The adjustablity is what makes them work good. The workout time now is about 5% of the time from the 60's. The knowledge is out there. Sorta like an Apple IIE, still a good computer, does the same as the newest stuff, but not as efficient. I'm not sure what you are looking for, but its all I got. Progress is touch, and change is here. No going back.

Hemis,BBC and even the 335HP Cobra Jets.Do you agree with what Bo said about you guys having at it in your own classes,away from the old combos?Sounds like a good start to re awakening S/SS in the eyes of the public.If the next generation were made in the spirit of the old cars,like mentioned previously,stripper showroom models you wouldn't have to mortgage your future on, we might see a resurgence in class racing.Wadda ya think?

Re: Want to loose 3200 ugly pounds?
Jeff, interesting you mentioned the 68 Hemi Dart. Wasn't that car placed in Super Stock immediately? Which is the point everyone has been making from the beginning.
