Good point when was the last time you seen a SS/B car run 8.60 lol
1 5251 SS/B Todd Patterson, Augusta KS, '10 Mustang 8.675 9.90 -1.225
2 243 SS/BA Roy Hill, Sophia NC, '10 Mustang 8.775 9.90 -1.125

Who won class in SS/B this year? And I think about six years ago David Barton with his Dart had the SS/BA Record at some where around 8.80.

Do any if you really think NHRA is going to put these cars in a FX class come on. Nothing is going to change you can all bitch on this form about how its not far all you want. But it will not change one thing.

IHRA's SS/B and SS/BA index is 10.20 ! That puts Todd Patterson at 1.525 under and Roy at 1.425 under. Kind of makes those neat old 64 & 65 Hemi cars a pile of expensive junk dosen't it ! Can you say "Nostalgia Racing" is in thier future. If Im not mistaken Roy was quicker than Armstrongs Corvette was in SS/AA and on smaller tires? Those things belong in SS/A !

I'am just looking at the facts. Who won SS/AA this year?

How come no one is bitching about the PT? hell he went almost -2.00.

How many DP'sand CJ's went more then three rounds at INDY this year?

Well...the PT meets all of the requirements of a street registered stocker. And it runs in a class that the cars are all quite similar. Head's up are generally not out of whack and eliminations are a dial in matter from there. Not sure that the PT helps your case.

You might want to be more specific with your DP/CJ example. How many of them went deep into class eliminations and/or how many of them beat a legit stocker in eliminations. Irvin Johns did a fantastic job of driving in super stock, but did you see his lights in stock? He had several horrible lights and won!

He's not affecting the older cars! Ray Charles could have seen that one

So what you are saying is only under factored combos in A-F matter.

Re: Drag Pak/Cobra Jet FX classes
 
Charley,

You keep referencing the LT1 cars and how long it took them to get factored properly. At least they were in their own class until then! That is all anyone is asking. Class the Drag Paks and Cobra Jets properly to let them eventually reach the proper horsepower factor.

Why is this so hard for you to understand? Is it because you have one and you like the idea of having an unfair advantage until things are sorted out? The LT1's didn't have an unfair advantage against the older cars since they weren't in heads up races except against each other.

Boy I wish the website can get the servers corrected. It is getting tough to follow the flow of the posts.
