Re: Should the MOPAR V10 DragPak get a 3speed?
 

Mark I hate to tell you but NHRA says it IS a real stocker and really that is all that matters....

Re: Should the MOPAR V10 DragPak get a 3speed?
 

First off I ain't picking on anybody, just had some thoughts.

I was told once by Wesley Roberson, that NHRA did not make you choose the particular car that you race. Each individual can choose what ever car they want and then compete with it. What he did tell me was, I had to adhere to the rules that were established by NHRA concerning my car choice.

I don't understand how a person can pick a particular car and when he finds himself at a performance disadvantage, wants NHRA to bail them out over a poor choice of vehicles and allow something that never came with the car.

Maybe we can all get Superchargers to level up the playing field??

Nothing should surprise us anymore. Integrity.....whats that??

I agree. Ditto HP reductions from the factory hp ratings when someone can't make one run fast enough. I feel like all HP reductions from factory HP ratings are bogus. If they aren't capable of making it fast enough, it's either their lack of capability, they are trying to pull something (probably the most common thing) or they should have been smart enough to have picked another combo. Most all HP reduction combos end up extremely fast. Guys that got 30 or 40 HP reductions from their factory HP ratings probably can't stop smiling. LOL

Yep that's true, Mack... and we have this joker we see on TV all the time that's supposed to a leader or some such thing, and that's all that matters too.....Enough said there..

Re: Should the MOPAR V10 DragPak get a 3speed?
 

You compairing NHRA with our so called leader.... Drag racing is just a sport... A so called leader is something else. They aren't in the same "boat" if you think so you are badly mistaken.....

And to think the topic of this thread was "Should the MOPAR V10 DragPak get a 3 speed"! Lmao boy has this got of the trail!!!

Gee ,I thought it was a pretty good analogy..
Okay , what 's the one about putting lipstick on a pig??
The point is, some of us will never accept the factory ringer F/X car as legitimate Stockers, no matter what NHRA calls them.


Joseph, You posed a question in the section used by the general public.
Don't you think it's fair to point out how you got to the point where you can only used a Powerglide 2 speed in the first place? I'm sorry..make that Powerflite

Re: Should the MOPAR V10 DragPak get a 3speed?
 

Mark what the heck are you talking about?? I believe everyone knows how I got to the point of only being able to using a powerglide. 😱 And if you don't know then you must be a Internet dragracer!! Nhra is considering allowing us a 3 speed so that's why I started this thread. Yes I understand that the general public uses this form but this is a specific thread asking a specific question. If I had to guess you are properly a lot more educated than I am considering you compare NHRA to the President. That is above my grade level. But thank you for giving my little thread some of your time and worthiness.

Mark, we are on the same page on the politicial side.... But we still differ on the Stocker side..... NHRA is still the rulemaker, and will continue to rule as it sees fit... You have the right to disagree with them but you probably will get better results just sitting in your yard and howling at the moon!!!!!

Joseph, sorry for hijacking your thread..... I'm done...

Re: Should the MOPAR V10 DragPak get a 3speed?
 

Sure..Why not? Whatever you want and need...Go for it!



Sorry for hijacking your thread too ,boys
