The chances of Ed and Bob Shaw running each other heads up are well like winning the lotto.

I was going to sit on it for a while but I'll fess up.It means Full Figured Fellow.Welcome to the 21st century Jack.
Tony,I know I'll never have to run Bob.NJ is a long ways from Mo. to me.It would be nice to meet him and see the "slug" Terror in person.

I haven't seen that car cross the scales but I was told that, when the horsepower adjustment comes along next week, the car will then be only about 120 overweight for U/SA instead of 180 pounds over the way it was this weekend.

Bob paid his dues back when he raced a Corvair.He has earned the right to race a easy combination.I think he won a National with that Corvair also.

Why will he get hit if the CIC race doesn't count towards the AHFS?
Uh Jack the FFF originated in NJ on classracer a few years ago.Archive it.It's still on here I think.Now Pa is a totally different story.

Ed,

I may have misinterpreted the status of the Sportsnationals but I was viewing it in the same way as a typical National Event. If I'm right, he should be receiving a visit from the horsepower fairy on the basis of his qualifying time for the regular Stock Eliminator program:
__________________________________________________ _____________

1 5159 U/SA Robert Shaw, Sedalia MO, '77 Seville 13.664 15.15 -1.486

I'm sure that he would be just as content to be left alone. Guess we should know for sure in a day or so.

And all the fuss last month was about a NEW mustang factor problem. Looks like there is a new combo to draw attention now. At least the Mustang is NEW and can have a positive impact on the image of Stock racing and factory involvement and spectator appeal. I bet the jealosy will not be so large in the complaints about this car.
