Factory experimental

Alan Roehrich · 01-24-2009, 06:24 PM

Chuck, I give Ford and Roush all the credit in the world, they've created an impressive monster. I really look forward to seeing them race. I just think that much like the T-Bolt, and the HemiCuda and HemiDart, among others, they should be the class they fit, not just dropped into a class because they want to be there.

And if Chevy came in with a 650+ HP (under rated)LSx stuffed in a light Camaro, I'd want it in a class it belonged in. In fact, Chevy did a poll about the Camaro in Stock, and the majority voted for an LSx that actually fit AA Stock, as opposed to one of the big supercharged 650HP engines. Of course, that may never come to pass.

Red, I really think you are one of the guys Ford should have stepped up to help with a new CJ.

He's in the "I used to race S/S" class.And that's fine.But there comes a time when anyone without a stake in this should just read and let it go.Before anybody says I have no stake in this situation I,and
everyone else who pays to run Stock is affected by these ringer cars.Wher they qualify determines who I end up on the ladder.
This is just hypothetical but if these cars end up running wild through AA and NHRA loads them up with HP (where it 's obvious they should have never been allowed in the eliminator) if I was an AA class racer
I could very well lose a championship,top 10 national and or divisional position.NHRA would just say
"Never mind".
You might not agree with me but like Alan R. and most others we use our real names.I guess the no
namers either are embarrassed to use their names,or maybe there are warrants out against them.
Either way,grow up.That includes Party Guy you nitwit.

Bushwacker:What the hell is with you're obsession with the first foul rule.I've raced for 30 years and most of the time I've been the first leaver.It's never entered my mind to bitch that thats unfair.I'd be more concerned about a lazy Nat'l tech dept. who wont straighten out the AHFS.That's the real problem.

I was hoping to get the 442 post.

I went to a Drag Expo today and there was quite a bit of discussion through out the show on these cars.Stock Eliminator will FINALLY be getting some media coverage I think.This is good for everyone involved in Stock Eliminator.Add a little weight,and get out of AA/SA or AA/S.I can run in F/SA at 3950 with my car.The weight actually makes the car more consistant.I do think that a 700 horsepower supercharged car in Stock is ridiculous,but be glad that NHRA hasn't allowed John Force to run his Funny Car in Stock Eliminator........................................ .....YET!
