Fastest SS/AS car in the country
Wow what a statement in this ad on racing junk ... The ad # is 1575568 if anybody cares. Oh by the way for the person that wrote this ad. If your car can't run .50's your not the fastest!!

Re: Fastest SS/AS car in the country
Who's the record holder? Whoever holds the record is the fastest, case closed.

Re: Fastest SS/AS car in the country
All setting a record means is that one one day at one track, you were the fastest. It doesn't really prove anything. I'd put more emphasis on a Class Winner at Indy than I would a record holder. I set three IHRA Nat'l Records in 2004. But who is to say if Harry Morgan or Brian Olson's car had been there, they could have been faster than me? Say if I build a SS/AH car (yeah, I know, fantasy world) and the record is a minimum and I set it at a 8.80. If Charlie, Bucky, Daniels, Pancake etc aren't there, what did I prove? Nothing. And if they ARE there and are running 8.60's and choose not to go for the record and I set it at 8.80, am I still "the fastest"? Certainly not. The only way to prove who's fastest is to have everyone there, same track, same day, and run 'em off.

He said 8.61 in 2000 ft of air. That was at Commerce I think. Why dont you call John and ask him about it rather than scream on a message board and degrade someones car.
