Absolutely no embarrassment for your performance. You qualified well on the top half of the sheet and went 3 rounds in eliminations. I would say that's a pretty good "Indy". You did better than the majority of racers there. I could only wish that my car runs as good as yours did. I know you were hoping to do a little better but not bad overall. I hope you keep racing. I read and enjoy every post that you write on this forum.

Nope, he was not. There's absolutely no doubt that it would be stupid fast, but as they say, "cain't win if you ain't in." In fact, Decker was .15 away from the #1 qualifier in Super Stock, but he still won the Quick 32. They don't race 'em on paper.

We will be doing the event again next year. All Stock and Super Stock cars are invited. No AHFS. Prove it on the race track!

That's why Decker was in JA...Because Stewart was in IA...

Yeah, Ricky faced that monster last year. Lloyd, Sonny & James built the baddest SS car on the planet there.

Doesn't Stewart get to add 100 lbs. today?

I don't know how much he will get. Do you? If you are correct, they always run it more than that heavy anyway.

The 360 Drag Pak combo is the most bogus in SS! Not saying anything bad about those who run it, just that NHRA missed big time on rating it at 275. Ricky has the fastest real SS car in the country! Just proved it at Indy, the place where you save your combo all year for!

I run one, and I agree. That's why I built it. It's rated 50HP less than my 360 Magnum crate motor was in IHRA Stock. While there are at least two more in the works, it's very surprising there haven't been more built.

Is the 360 drag pack combo the one that bardekoff has in his cuda that he bombed the gt/fa record with?

Is Ronnie Terrell's car bogus? He killed ten MPH and ran quicker (9.805) than any SS/JA car there. Then screwed with it before the next round, and could only run 9.85 out the back door. He changed it right back. :-)

I've thought for a long time Ronnie had the fastest SS/JA car on the planet. I still do. Ricky is not far off. He is bad fast.
