So now you want 130 in a mineshaft condition.? I’ve said this before if you go 120 anywhere anytime You Need HP. Where does it stop.? NHRA took 3 tenths of everyone and moved the hp hit from. 1.15. To 1.20. How about not tuning the car up to go too fast
100 lbs of lead will save ya. Like cooter said I mean what Kenny Rodgers said
Please. For Indy put the same 1.20 hit back on and the ahfs will work. Like it should

It went from 1.40 (old indexes) to 1.20 (new indexes 2010). It should be 1.20 and yes probably 1.30 in mine-shaft conditions. Look what NHRA has allowed pertaining to rules, new products, technology. If you cannot run 1.00 second under today, you are not working hard/smart enough.
Do not penalize the ones working hardest or smartest at the top. Give them credit.

Correct...!
Money does pays for Knowledge Ed...!!
Like a $25,000 Stock Eliminator Engine with special everything.
Like a $10,000 Transmission and Converter
Like a $5000 Rear
Like Special Built Shocks
REM BLUED Bearings

Most just bolt them on.
Few have the knowledge or experience how to do these.
Want to go fast?
You go to the specialist.
AND they want to be paid for their Knowledge.

Pretty soon a $1000 shell costs $35000 to build.
If you add the Hourly Rate we put into building the car.
We have a Boat !!

Dan, not everybody just buys high dollar engines. Some know how to build their own.

And I guess your Pure Stock car was built for under $20000. ?
Sorry you spent your money on the wrong car.
You now can’t race but a few places.
Keep throwing stones at accomplished NHRA class racers.
You will continue to get treated like the dope you are.
I myself think your delusional cause you mistakenly think you are relevant
Flame on. By the way can you qualify for a sanctioned Nhra race.?
Asking for a friend. ��

Not sure about this. People will make 1000 foot deals. Done it before.
