Having been at Indy, IMHO tech was a little on the light side and the cars that were checked were, again IMHO, pretty "safe" teardowns.

Billy how dare you call any of those combo's soft. You have one of the softest combo's out there. How many of those dime ( Junk yard ) rockets have you even take the motor out and do as much as you can under the stock rules. Ever try to get a piston approved for your dime rockets? Give one of your cars to Glenn and I'll bet it end up gong 1.50 under.

I never have seen Richie Pauley run his 428 Mustang as hard as he did at the last races. I would guess that is one. 396/325 maybe, low compression 340s might be adding weight.

I also question why so many were running so hard but I do think the mineshaft rule should have never been taken away . IMO

Ok Billy so picking a combo that is factored well and then working hard on it should get it horsepower. And why did I pick a performance class.............should just be bracket racing then. So you never picked a combo that wasn't factored to death and ran well with it ?

Billy,

Confused on your use of the word "safe". Can you elaborate on that?

If it's so easy, everyone would be doing it.
You should try it sometime. ;-)
