Loophole closed

[Bryan Worner]

[QUOTE=Joey Bohannon;283995]I think its great that they closed "a" loophole, how bout closing a few more......like making all lt-1's run at 291,

Joe, the only reason the LT1 is at 291 in GT is because a GT car kept getting the horsepower, while the Super Stockers with the LT1 did not! If you ask me the horsepower, especially for all rear wheel drive SS's, should go back to 279! And in case you forget, the only reason it is still not 275 is because of a single run, made in ungodly mindshaft conditions, with a 20 mph tail wind at Englishtown some years ago!

If a Super Stocker triggers the horsepower, it goes on the GT combo also, but not vice versa!

[SS/GSI]

As long as people who are uneducated when it comes to engine combinations HP potential, body style aerodynamics and obvious physics are setting the bar for all of us we are F#@KED! Other than one or two of the top guys, no one in Cali has ever even raced in STK or SS, little own ever raced at all! U wanna really see all the GT/Modified cars be on a level playing field set back the HP rating on real SS cars to factory settings + 4 or 8, not the 32hp on a 327, 20hp on a 350 or 25+hp on a 396! If the horsepower on those GT cars ever got close to that they would all stay home of embarrassment that there car can only go .70 under balls out! Oh and BTW Brian the reason it doesn't work the other way is because if a 40+yr shoebox can go fast enough to trigger HP it's obvious that a GT car, with the same combo,that is 8 to 15 hundredths faster on body alone can.

and if a few of the trigger cars were torn down and proven legal before hp was added, in alot of cases there wouldn't be additional hp to worry about.
