Great support guys. I hope it features similar cars and hp factoring.. With the 454 car that will not be possible so good luck.

That is funny Dick, the fastest car in the class so far this year with a killer record is Jim Grossi's 454 car......or did you miss that? Cretella's BB car would be killer too, so would Vince Impastato's 402 motor in a light car. We saw Irvin John's post a 454 with some killer results, too. Where are all the rest of you BBC guys at?

I think we should have a hypo GTAH class with RA-V's, max wedges, Hemis, L88's, Ford Tunnel ports, Boss 429 dual 4's, and square port 454's like 6.0 using all blocks and heads to keep it reasonable cost. Of course we must only allow BBC's and Hemis in SS/AA and lock the rest out.

We should also have like a 7.0 GT class for the single 4 BB only cars. Buicks, Olds, Pontiac, Ford, Mopar, AMC, but that would make way too much sense. Like I said, we need to promote ourselves!

Hey Lynn, I fully understood the comment about the 454 being the fastest car in GT/AA "now" the whole game of find the bogus motor deal gets somewhat OLD. Like the 350 of Fogle till it got factored or the 402 till it got factored and now its the 454.Kind of the weakness of the Factoring system creating Heros for a season or two or depreciating the value of wonderful cars from LAST year. 454 Camaros with rectangle ports then Oval ports,
The Mustang was the Hot Stocker Topic for a while for the same reason. Lack of reasonable factoring before a car runs never mind AFTER they run. Maybe a new Mustang with a Blower can get to GT/AA then there will be a new "car for the class"
You Take 10 Great builders, racers , tuners with one bogus car in the mix and the game is loaded.
GO CAMERON.

True Dick,

When my engine came out of the factory.......nothing could touch it in stock or super stock. It had valve jobs, valves, light pistons, low deck, light rods, big carb like no one else had. Then over the years all its advantages were given away to everyone else for free. You might say it was a thoroughbred. About 2 years ago it was called a mule trying to run with thoroughbreds.

Join the club! History often repeats itself.
