Since you all like the AHFS so much and the weak HP combos (what I mean by "SLUGs") lets hope (you not me) that the next combo that he or anyone else comes up with dosent fall into your class (whatever it is) after you have worked for a long time on your car and spent just about everything you could afford and the true potential dosent show up in this new combo until your at INDY or some other big event for class or a heads up run for all the glory and bucks.

The chances of Ed and Bob Shaw running each other heads up are well like winning the lotto.

Ed -- You must have learned that on the 'net as they don't speak that way in New Jersey...............


PS -- Good luck on racin' that Caddy............BTW, when he gets HP, and he will sooner or later, does that make his car a T/SA ?

That's the nice thing about NHRA, they have All the info online and free so you can determine what class you should race and what competition you may have. All laid out in the open. Some people insist on racing something they are apparently in love with so nothing will change what they race. Others, like Bob Shaw, are smart and have no allegiance to any make or model. And I don't know Bob but I suspect his thrill in racing is the hunt for the obscure.
Hip-hip-horay! for Bob Shaw! (and to all those that feel the need to try and knock him down a notch....waaaawaaaawaaa!

I agree Jeff. The car has been in the rulebook for years. Anyone could have built one, What about Ray Golonka's Caddy It ran pretty fast also.

My sentiments exactly. Atleast one of the afore mentioned racers has had one bad combo for atleast 15 years. Meanwhile ,Bob has built 6 or 7 good cars in the same ET range.
What we DON'T want is affirmative action drag racing.
