All the above mentioned have the option to run T/SA. AHFS is a computer generated program that takes the human element out of the equation. Much better than getting horsepower in the staging lanes like sometimes happen in "the good old days"

Bob Shaw is bad to the bone. And a gentleman.

As a part owner of an ex-Bob Shaw race car that has been torn down several times, it is fun to see so much controversy about a racer who does so much with OEM parts.

Isn't that what stock - at it's purest level - is all about?

I wonder how much fun Bob Shaw might have if NHRA had a Pure Stock class?

Bob Shaw won't win the NHRA Lucas Oil World Championship this year. Somebody else will. And they will deserve to win it.

But there will only be one world champion, and for class racing to prosper, we need a lot of Bob Shaws - and a lot of guys who want to be the World Champion.

I respect them all.

Two Seconds Under!

Where are all the racers who complained about the CJ? Where is all the talk of GM screwing NHRA Stock racers? Where is the talk of how NHRA is screwing hard working Stock racers? Come on guys, chime in. You bashed NHRA, Ford and the CJ, now what is your take on this car?

The answer is : You are nowhere to be found because this car doesn't affect you! So you won't hear any chatter about how soft this combo is from the CJ bashers. I don't mean to bring any negativity to Bob Shaw, as he clearly plays by the rules, but it is funny how much talk there was about a car even before it ran and how little talk there is about a slower-class Stocker that runs further under than any Stocker I have seen.

That 2.12 under beats my 2.04 under From years ago. I Should have leaned it out a bit more.
Now I've got to run 12.17 with my N/A setup!!!! I think my work ain't going to be easy.
This is my form of "bitchin"

Evan;
Bob's car is one car,the CJ's are a fleet in the making.Bob will move on to another killer combo,but the CJ's are here to stay.It's true the CJ's can't go 2.00 under but they out pace the current AA cars by quite
a bit.And as you know the Caddie is a T car like mine.When he obliterated the T record I set in 06 I was one of the first to congratulate him.Record and fast wise Bob is a baddddd man.
