Sorry Joe, I was trying to prove to Eric Maryfield that the drag Pak guys were the ones who got the 3-speed rule changed. If I remember correctly the V-10 was powerglide only and you guys got the 3-speed rule change to be competitive with the CJ and COPO in the factory Shootout.

Whoever got it changed,it sure seemed to have helped some of those old cars run better.

Cool deal. Lol I just wasn't reading it clear. You are 100% correct. The v10 were in the book with a glide. What makes that really funny is this year in Indy we had to run the glide and we did pretty darn well with it.


Hmm, not sure if that suggestion was to improve the old car...

We have tried to figure out what the 3spd is worth - it seems for sure you will spin eventually.

The V10 torque monster is very fast without the 3spd - we recon - only 3 hundredths, if it hooks up.

Lots of on track - converter and 1st gear ratio research is required - for very little benefit.

Your dad and I talk about this very important science a lot - LOL
