how to deal with the DP/CJ cars......

[Dale Shannon]

Chad has the best idea, but don't stop there STREAMLINE the classes you run now 1 motor 1 body. A 396 camaro runs B, 428 cj runs B, a 351 ford mustang runs F a 350 camaro runs F ect. ect. ajust weight to only get to min. of the 1class. Think of what class at indy would be to watch then. just my 2 cents

Yes, the factors are screwed up....absolutely! But some of you aren't even close with some of your own combos. Just my opinion.....and whaaaah...if you don't like it!

Sean, maybe you need to look at it from the other side of the fence too. Your 96 Camaro was one of the fastest E/SA cars in the country when you had it. Compared to all the combos. You set the record at 10.70ish years ago. Would be in D now at roughly the same weight. Let's be generous and give you .3 for finding more hp and other tweaks. So let's say you can go 10.40 in good air. Go to Indy and lose .1 minimum, so you could go 10.50 theoretically if you still had the car, which would be a great run!

BUT, you'd be a whole bulb behind Irvin Johns!!!

Not whining, just a little perspective. I know I can't run with anyone! *

Exactly, thanks for pointing this out Mark. A factor on a DP that is bogus.
