What I am saying is that if you take one of these new motors and built it like the really fast guys' motors in stock or super stock (which lots of different engine builders, including Holbrook, can do), they will be faster than they are currently running.

Maybe Chris was doing the same thing you were at Columbus. He might have been on the brakes to keep from going too fast just like you did. You only went 105 miles per hour in the class semifinal. You think anyone didn't notice that? Could it be that you didn't want to trigger a AHFS hit?
