Now as for the santioning bodies rating combos like this. That was a bad move. It shows a total lack of respect for long time participants that have beat their combos to death in order to be in the top half in class run offs. These certainly aren't the only underfactored combos that come to mind. I just feel that "class fast" should be the result of a well researched combo, lots of R&D, 5 to 15 converters, 3 to 5 rear gear and tire diameter experiments, hundreds of t&t passes,etc.... not the numbers submitted and approved on a piece of paper. Thats what makes this challenging in my eyes. 25% car and 25% driver and 25% engine tuner and 25%chassis tuner.


De-valuing property of customers is not a good way to sustain customer loyalty.

Well stated.

And since we want to rehash some of this stuff, where was the concern for my old Six Pack car when the 396's and the Fords ran 5 tenths ahead of me. Where was the sympathy? Some of yall are a little one sided. I got a better combination now and I'm a bad guy now. Didn't realize I had changed with the new car. Just goes to show ya.

Jeff,
It's not you, drooze or anyone else.
