Jack Matyas, question, set record in d/sa and raced in e/sa ? Tom

Re: Atco Records
 

Tom -- Yes , you've got it right -- I set the D/SA record on Friday then changed cars and ran the race in E/SA -- I could have never done it without the help and support of my partner Bill Myers and my team member Rich Scaz .

Robert---Tell everyone what your secret is to quitting smoking . BTW 5lbs isn't that much--when I quit I gained 45 in 6 1/2 months. 137 LBS---HMMM.............

Tommy -- Sorry to say I didn't receive the Best Engineered award yet but I did get Best Appearing at Atco for our new GTO . Either way your work looks terrific and works even better than we hoped .

Artie -- After all these years I still feel like a rookie some days ! !

Re: Atco Records
 

When I quit drinking I lost the 15 lb I gained when I quit smoking. And Jack's right, 5 lb isn't much. BTW, I think the reason people gain weight after quiting smoking is that their taste buds start to work really well again.

Honestly, my secret was my 5 year old telling me it was killing me.

Re: Atco Records
 

So qualifying in E/SA at -1.476 under at a national open earns you a 3.25% HP increase.... at least according to the AFHS "explanation" on the NHRA webpage. So when can we expect the '06 GTO 364/400/391 go up to 364/400/404 for stock?

The other question that comes to mind is, since Jack is the first to ever run this combo in stock, why did the NHRA drop the HP from the factory 400 to 391 to begin with....???

Someday all of this might make sense, but I'm not gonna bet on it.

Re: Atco Records
 

Jack, what year GTO are you racing, 04, 05 0r 06, Tom

Re: Atco Records
 

Robert,
Keep it up. I forgot that you quit.

Jack,
I guess you better to spell it out before this becomes 7 pages of BS and misinformation.

I love the internet.

Re: Atco Records
 

Bill -- OK -- here it goes -- First off I didn't go 1.47 under in E/SA in qualifing -- that was the 10.52 that I set the D/SA record at on Friday (with a different car) .This was strictly a typo on NHRA's part (or Drag Race Central--I'm not sure which) . Next thing is our GTO is a 2004 not a 2005 or 6 , which has an LS1 engine not an LS2 . Today all of this makes perfect sense to me but you'll have to pay more attention as the game is moving along at a very fast pace . By the way there will be no HP increase on either cars . Hope I've cleared things up........


PS--I too love the Internet .
