Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

With the start of the 2024 racing season , NOW would be a great time for SOME of you guys to Familiarize yourself with the current AHFS rules …Let MJ offer you a few tips…If you are in a heads up run and have your opponent treed by .05 AND can outrun him by TWO tenths, it’s OK to let off before the finish line. ALSO, if you OR your opponent red lights, it’s OK to let off at the 1000 foot cone INSTEAD of hammering ANOTHER one second under run ….:):)

Isn't this where someone is supposed to say "that person works hard, probably harder than you, you need to work harder, if it's that fast it needs hp anyways, he's a nice guy, it's his car, he's racing like you're supposed to race, he's free to piss on his own shoes (and yours) for no good reason if he wants to"...

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Yes, all the above AND then my friend Larry Hill chimes in and sez…. The price of lead is going up. ….:):)

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Dan, it's not as much working hard as spending hard. a lot of racers don't have the wallet to buy all the "enhanced parts"to go fast.

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Car shows and Pickle Ball just keep looking better and better!

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Does this include my combo? Sorry, not quite familiar with all the combo lingo yet. I'm running an '80 model Malibu w/ 305 and q-jet. Y'all please don't kill my combo, I JUST got under the index. XD

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Nevermind, I see that the #2 and #3 qualified cars at Belle Rose set sail with early 80s 305s. oof. I guess more power to them, just don't kill me too bad. The 305 got a ton of HP last year and it looks like they aren't done yet. Out of curiosity, the 80-84 305 camaro took a hit last year but the malibu didn't. I'm told it's all platform based, that's why I didn't get HP last year (before I finished the car mind you all). Would a malibu setting the world on fire hurt me, or only another station wagon? Would that be considered the same platform? idk how that gets decided.

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Be sure to invite me to your first pickle ball game! lol

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Your Malibu wagon and Malibu coupe both have 108.1 wheel base so NHRA considers those the same platform.

The Malibu that just won Belle Rose made 6 one second under passes in K/SA and most definitely puts your combo in jeopardy.

The bad news is if your combo can’t run K/SA none of your runs will count to lower his average.

Hope this helps
Good luck this season

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Do you have a dished piston in yours?

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

HEY!!!….hold my beer, I’ve got this

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

frick. No I can only run L/M/N, currently running N now.

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Honestly do not remember, but Mark Lewis does. Let me look on class racer info and see what my combo calls for.

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

calls for dished pistons on class racer so I assume that's what I've got. Mark wouldn't put something together that wasn't right. :/

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Billy,
You do realize that they is more of a chance of getting hurt playing Pickle Ball than making runs down the track? :D


Stan

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

JP1738, your engine has dish piston . Mark did my motor also. same combo as you but I run M/SA. 80 thru 84 had dish pistons

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

JP1738, you are safe... for now:)

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Ok I'm still confused though. He runs a 81 Malibu 305, would that not mean he is in the same combo with me w/ dished pistons? Is there another combo not shown on class racer? How do I know he has flat top pistons and not the same combo as I? This crap is too complicated. Please somebody educate me.

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Not necessarily, Jim
You can get hp off a Chevy wagon, through 1 800 CRY NHRA, and not have it come off a 2 dr. HT...Same wheelbase!

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

I get it. I wish everyone did.

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Don't even get me started on this topic. LOL

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

:):)

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

JP1738 , My mistake , 81 malibu 2 dr. 305 dish motor can run J/K/L @ 13.49. factor . I was thinking of my son's , a 81 camaro 305

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Dawson this would affect your combo, all the malibus other than the 79 combo basically lumps into the same 232 combo.

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Now I know another reason why you are the #1 Sportsman Dragracer!!! All those quotes we hear all season long by alot of people,,but those people will never walk in that person's shoes. There's a reason why soo many people like you win so much,,they use their heads.

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

MJ.
Just change the bumper
It helped you guys last time

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

I knew it, I knew it was coming. Just a matter of time. Good Luck in Gainesville Mr. MAD Hawaiian…..:):)

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Plus those pickle ball players with fat wallets have "enhanced paddles"

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Yep, for me knee surgery for torn menicus, shoulder surgery for torn labrum/rotator cuff and separated SI joint all from playing Pickleball. Drag racing gave me sore wrists from coming down hard on a wheelstand (bent sterring wheel) and a broken finger working on the car. Pickleball is much more risky to my health.

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

just worth saying .... MJ can be an imposing figure waiting at your trailer :)

mike you cant cure stupid on the class racer forum hell if you do the whole forum might disappear.

and i dont wanna discuss the wheelbase issue im in a hard to win arguement now us elcamino CARS have a seperate wheelbase and ergo are a seperate platform but a car not a truck. and i keep my 6hp and can watch the wagons fly.

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Isn`t Bob`s motor a 350?

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

He's on the sheet with a 305. Unless they have his combo wrong, which they did with a handful of cars.

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Mike the 2 door Malibu never came with a 350
Only elcamino and wagon

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Frick. At least I'm not crazy. Ole boy accidentally gas lit me for a second there.

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Jim, 81 malibu, sedan ,wagon and el camino only came with 155hp 305.according to listings

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

11.60`s... wow...
dished piston
small cam
Have fun JP1738:)

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

MJ is a gentle giant.

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

YES, he is …And don’t forget warm hearted and compassionate !!!:):)

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Hell I ain't trying to outrun him. I also realize when I put this combo together it was fairly popular, it doesn't surprise me people are fast and pushing the envelope with it. It's his prerogative to run his 'bu as hard as he wants. What stinks is they won't look at anything I do because I can't run his class, nor will any of my runs be fast enough for them to take into account anyway :/

I wish he'd cool it a touch but I also understand it's hard work and $$$ to get where he's at. More power to him.

Re: Att..Stock Elim 305 flat top Q jet racers
 

Dawson, It looks like you were the only N Automatic at Gainsville, this past weekend. I wouldn`t think there are many, anywhere you go. Don`t worry about the HP and just have fun.
Can you explain " I need the back tire.... and maybe the brake"?
Asking for a friend:)
