Jim any chance you guys loaning me your vet for Atco ? Barry

Re: G/SA Current Record
 

I don't think so Mr. Barry! We are trying to find some horsepower so it will be fast!

Re: G/SA Current Record
 

Barry, it was directed to Mr. Treekiller, I say come on in the water is fine.

Re: G/SA Current Record
 

Barry,
My post said UP to 5 hp. It all depends on what legal pan you end up using. And the dyno doesn't have to deal with excelleration either. If it wasn't worth power why did all of Brian's customers have one?
Jim Jr.
Going by Bowling Green and Indy this year I didn't see anyone that fast to run those numbers, but you guys stayed home, and I know your fast but not how fast.

Back out to the garage to work on my stuff.

Re: G/SA Current Record
 

Ed, it has nothing to with logic, it is the reality of life. My car is in same same boat as yours and I don't plan on changing it any time soon. We all race our cars for different reasons. Some because they are emotionally attached to it, others because it's all they can afford and others because they want the latest-greatest.

But you have to accept that in racing, if you don't keep up you will be left behind. I just don't feel that everyone has a right to be competitive just because you made a previous investment in your car.

Jim, you don't need $100,000 to race or win in Stock. But basically every HP rating is bogus. Do you think a 440 Mopar rated just over 400 makes that number, no it makes about 600-plus. Same for my small-block Ford, so what does it matter?

No one would ever build a new car if the hp rating wasn't favorable.

Evan, the plus is not needed now. I am hoping it will be needed in 2014

Re: G/SA Current Record
 

OK back to the subject, my money is on Jim Storms setting the record early in the season

Re: G/SA Current Record
 

If he wants it Chuck will have it...

Re: G/SA Current Record
 

You're correct, Chuck has one of the older cars that, in the right conditions, will go 10.60's .... But Chuck is a way smarter racer than that. He's spent thousands and years on his combo and will continue to protect his investment from AHFS....... Now maybe at an open with the right conditions, but NEVER at a ace that he'd get wacked.

Re: G/SA Current Record
 

He clearly is in the running for the fastest G/SA,but he did get beat on a holeshot at Indy by another old car that "might" be almost as fast in the right conditions?
