HP Adjustments

Where are all the naysayers from earlier this year? They didn't want a seperate class or gangs of horsepower back then.
All I can say is Drooze you did good.

Yes, he did good. Hp ratings are still bogus, and until they get factored correctly people aren't going to be happy with them. Put them in the classes where they belong and there will be no problems. That engine began at least 100 hp light.

As for "new" cars, David thinks it the "new cars" is the probem. It's only the extremely bogus hp ratings. Nobody would have a problem with the new Camaros, they have an honest hp rating, thus would not stand a chance agains the new bogus-rated factory race cars.

Nobody can condem the guys buying them. Neat cars. Just the bogus hp numbers and the extreme sand bagging bothers people.

Btw the Keith, "mystery driver", has not forgotten a thing! .014 light first round. Good job! They are doing a great job with that car. If they would race straight up like Chris said they would it would get factored correctly.

Once again, when you don't have a point that can be supported, just attack someone else's character....

As for Keith using his own money, how does that make any difference???? What a ludicrous argument to prove some inane point...

If your point is somehow that he doesn't deserve to run fast because it isn't all on his nickle, are you also saying that Greg Anderson, Jason Line, and other pros don't deserve to run fast because they have a sponsor??? So, just what was your point.

I love it when monkeys type long enough to get some words on the screen, and then sit back and smirk at their own "clever creations"...

Keith is a great Racer, a Great Mechanic (He built the go fast engine we are now running), and a heck of a nice guy...

Just because you cant find any factual reason to attack him or his character doesn't mean you can make up crap up that has no bearing on anything. So either find a valid point to argue, or keep your feeble thoughts to yourself.

Very simple if you get good enough you can race on someone elses dime.

It is amazing how someone gets a fact misinterpreted, and someone else is trying to hang us on hearsay, that isn't even close to the truth. Toby misheard Keith about the weight. No big deal, until someone who wasn't even in the same conversation wants to pick a nit with us. Did you heard Keith say anything about the weight? Or are you just applying typical Democratic argument strategy, "Forget the facts and issues, just attack the person!"

Yes, I did actually hear him say that. I didn't mishear anything. I know what I heard. In fact, Keith actually said he was 55 pounds heavy for C. I will swear on my mother's grave that is what he said. Hell, I'll even take a lie detector test along with Keith to settle this.

Were you there during this conversation? Have Keith (spike1) come on here and deny that he said it.

Toby,

I didn't mean to offend you. I was calling out a guy who makes anything he thinks he hears out to be the law.

As for what Keith did or didn't say, it really isn't all that significant. If he mispoke or you misheard, what difference does it make. Keith doesn't intentionally lie, and I don't take you to be untruthful either. But I do know exactly what my car weighs and I know how much we are light, or over weight for the classes we run. And what was said is just flat wrong.

But what the car weighs doesn't really matter and especially now that we are running eliminations, weight matters even less.

Once again Toby, whether you heard correctly and Keith accidentally mis-spoke, or he spoke correctly and with the car noises, or whatever... might have heard something else, it really doesn't mean a whole lot at this point.

But my previous comment wasn't intended to insult you or otherwise call you out.

If your 300 lbs heavy you don't have to sweat the scales.

[art leong]

I have to laugh when I think about people crying because a car is to heavy.
It just doesn't make logical sense.
What's next? A video installed in the car to make sure you don't short shift it.

Keep whining and crying and maybe NHRA can find a new way to punish the whiners in addition to lowering the AHFS threshold.

So what is the new rules that we are not going to like with our older cars? Can you also let us in on them lowering the AHFS threshold? You seem to know a lot more about next year than any of us in the rest of the country.
