Chuck D still racing on line and on the track.
I was most certainly not beating up on your engine builder, it just seems like many of the engines he builds for the new cars are not built to their full potential because they don't need to be to go fast. Look at Chris' own car, he only went .86 under in the class final Indy, and I'm sure that's not because the potential to go fast isn't there. It's barely faster than he went in stock last year. What I am saying is that if you take one of these new motors and built it like the really fast guys' motors in stock or super stock (which lots of different engine builders, including Holbrook, can do), they will be faster than they are currently running.

You guys have pretty much beat the hide off this horse. Build one or race against one or stay home and pout. On the other hand if this thread could pick up some speed we could drill down through the center of China.

Maybe Chris was doing the same thing you were at Columbus. He might have been on the brakes to keep from going too fast just like you did. You only went 105 miles per hour in the class semifinal. You think anyone didn't notice that? Could it be that you didn't want to trigger a AHFS hit?

Well that's pretty obvious I would think, I was on a single, didn't want to trigger it twice at one race. I'm just wondering why he was only running mid .80s under (at 134 mph) at class in Indy. You would think he would at least set up for close to 1.00 under if he could, it is Indy after all.

Sorry I meant to say first round, but you were on the brakes every round of class and you are not showing your potential either, so don't rip everyone else for the same thing you are doing.

But .86 under is a long way from 1.00 under without lifting, and the car should run more than 1.00 under, I guess I just don't get the point of not trying to win class when the potential is there. I had nothing left for every run in class, I was going to win if I could, I just didn't have to go 1.00 under multiple times.

Andrew.....if I remember correctly.....Chris was chasing a gremlin at Indy.....I'm sure he would have gone a little faster otherwise....

Alright, well that makes sense. I didn't mean to make this about his car, I'm sure it's as fast as he wants it to be when everything is right. Thanks, it was fun!
