I'd just lke to shout a big THANK YOU to the racer
who got my combo hit again. Two years in a row. It feels pretty awesome, especially how I worked hard all year to try and save the average and not run 1.000 under. One more hit and my combination will be illegal for stock. Good times.

Were right up against the limit now, with 622HP we have to weight 3,591lbs, if we gain 2 more HP we'd be at 3,602lbs which would be over the chassis certified limit of 3,600lbs. They could create a FS/AAA with a weight break of 5.00-5.49 which would keep us legal in stock, at least that's what I'd hope they'd do, otherwise I'd have to move to superstock (or change my engine combination) , in which case I'd be changing a lot of things in the car.

Yeah, it sucks. You think you're doing the right thing by you and your fellow racers, and then you realize, it's all for nothing. |

We all pick our poison.

Re: I'd just lke to shout a big THANK YOU to the racer
Tony, we may all pick our poison but the poison recipe ended up changed. Long after we knew what the old recipe was. i.e. No more mine shaft races!! Runs only .65 and over count. The old recipe was bad enough. This one could be a combo killer. Gainsville will be here before you know it. If you took everyone that ran at Indy and put them into the Baby Gators with the normal air they have there. Half the field would be 1.20 under. For those that want to bring others down to their level. Sorry for you guys that don't have as much money as others that race. You knew that when you started racing. Sorry your too lazy to work on your car or just don't have the knowledge. Or that you don't really care about performance as much as others. I did it on a shoestring budget for a long time. I worked on my cars all the time, and tried things that were not expensive. It makes a big difference when you actually work on your car and try little changes during time trials. BP

Re: I'd just lke to shout a big THANK YOU to the racer
I should have just picked a soft combo. Put a junk yard motor in it and then complained it's not fair. Everybody goes faster than I do. They all must be cheating or their combo's need to get hit with HP. Poor me !! BP
