I thought was Jay Higgins and James Caro in the finals with that Stratus fro Louisana?

Higgins and Caro were in the final of SS/BM and Brandon won the whole race last year I believe. Also I thought that you could not put a big block into a FWD conversion GT car? Did they change this rule or was there never one.

Are you bringing that black Cobalt to run in SS/BM? That car was runner up last year if I am not mistaken.

Smitty, right now its up in the air. I have the car for sale at 96,000. If its not sold by then Jeff Taylor or someone else might drive it.

That black car is a beast, that was a damn good race last year between those two in the SS/BM finals.
If Jeff gets in that car at Indy I'm calling Vegas to place my bet on him.
Irv your car runs in GT/AA also doesn't it?

Re: GT/AA Class War At Indy
 
Great to see a class regain popularity with a high car count again. Only draw back is the fact so many motors make it unlikely factoring will be easy the first few years they all run. Probably will result in a shift away from the 350 if the FI or 454 are anything special. Nose wt of 454 will probably be the achilles heal if it is factual combination. Class should be fun unless the factoring turns out to be WAY OFF. Good Luck
The class was tremendous when only 454 oval and 454 Rectangular port ran. They were VERY closely factored to even. 7 or 8 great cars and great drivers made it fun..to run in that class.

Sounds like the truck motor in a passenger car. I wonder how they designated the difference back then, or did they? Maybe it is a superceded truck head.
Where's Dwight when we need him?
220 ccs small port? Ha Ha Mark that is a good one! So if they had to run 188cc?

There you go again! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Limiting combos SUCKS! Brand Rivalry Rules!

Okay Lynn, Reread the post, HA HA. No I didnt limit the combos I described the situation at the time. I love a variation even better if it were in Brand names. Tom Decamp had a great GT/AA at one time but I think it would not hold up.
You tell me how long YOU think it will take to level the combos based on AHFS speed. The 350 may be close to even with the 454 Rectangular now. We'll see how it works... Should be a great class.

Re: GT/AA Class War At Indy
 
isnt lynn mccarty running the 428 that had 70 (oops make that 40) hp reduced off a few years back... same combo fulper was lambasted about ???

i assume the 455 wasnt the ticket in SS/GT
