Ed,that would be 4 hun not 4 thou.Otherwise you're correct about the spread from #1 to#16.It's usually 6-7 hundreds.
I wonder if the pro stock guys come here on class racer and read some of the bull$hit
contests that go on here related to S/SS.Don't think so.

I've seen spring loaded burst panels on sheet metal intakes, mostly hemi cars.
I met Mike Edwards at a test day many years ago. After each pass it was just like race day, clutch service, valve springs, plug readings, etc. Max effort all the time I was there. Get it ready for another pass.
Was his crewman hiding something? I would say yes. Was it something illegal? No way.

Brain fade, of coure your right. I know it's hundredths, just can't count decimal places. Went to public schools in Oklahoma.
I wish he had a tenth or even a second. Mike is one of my favorite people on the whole planet. Just no tenths between Pro Stocks.

Josh just didn't seem sure wheather to put it back on right them or wait. There is nothing there to hide. Holley carbs on a CFE intake. Others have the same thing.

Pro "Stock"...what's "stock" about it??

Name change for this eliminator (to reflect reality) is WAY OVERDUE.

It's the only pro class remotely interesting.At least they look like real cars.
Ed,you should see the East coast indoctrination system at work.Some of these
kids couldn't add 2+2 without a calculator and a guidance counselor.

I did two presentations to a local high school shop class, one with a dirt track car, one with an ET drag car and was told by the shop teacher at the end that it would have been better if I didn't use multiplication and division it it. I asked him how he thought they were going to get jobs if they couldn't do simple multiplication and division. Not sure what was worse, that the school and staff didn't seem to care and treated these kids as expendable or that they were getting paid near 6 figure salaries and didn't care...

Unk,

That's the same policy that the Johnsons have with the Mountain View Tire Group and I understand both of those policies.

Bobby,

You are right about the attitude of too many teachers-they don't care about the kids who are not going to college and even some of those who are. Of course your son Franklin is becoming an endangered species-someone who did graduate work in engineering who is not an immigrant or the child of an immigrant. Funny how the only other kid I know who has done that is the son of a drag racer too.

America needs immigrants to do things that Americans consider too dirty or too hard, like picking fruit, cleaning hotel rooms, studying math, studying physics, and studying engineering.
