Greg, I knew the reference to bracket racing would be the first objection and I can't disagree but if you have shoe polish on your window...you're bracket racing! The other alternative is to run off National Records and we've tried that and it didn't work.
We are not going to get a fair shake from the NHRA, it's not their priority and we've flogged the Max Wedge's, 427" Camaro"s and Ford's to the Nth degree...there's no more hp left to find while the new cars are full of potential. So, how do I become competitive with the new cars that are in my same class and can run about a second faster?
The new cars are here and they ain't going away and without taking the body off the frame I can't be competitive BUT if I could keep my dial in going into a class race I could be competitive.........just thinking!
