Smitty,
It may look like Ford and Mopar have pulled this stunt off but heads have begun to roll over this mess. Things can still change. How will it hurt you, if these cars are moved to another class?

How will hurt me, will it will pull the 15 year old paint and 15 year old valves out if my cylinder heads when they leave me or come by heap. It doesn't concern me that they have that much potential because anything can happen on that starting line. If those guys get in SS/IA or SS/HA we will run, I have my car to have fun and I know what my capabilities are so I don't get uptight. Heck I am in Florida, if you don't know one of the fastest if not fastest at sea level non factored SS/IA cars is here and it belongs to Rick Brewer. I know I can't out run him so I don't worry about it, he's go me covered by a second.
My whole point is we all need to run our cars and not worry about the guy in the other lane, if he has to put a number on the window make him run his number.

Does anybody know if these AA/SA Fords are running LOCK-UP torque converters?

[bill dedman]

Lockup convertors are not legal in Stock unless they're the OEM actual piece, are they?

That's what I've always heard. I think these CJ's have aftermarket convertors in them, which would disallow lockup units.

Don't bet the farm on that; It's just what I assume, based on what I've heard.

From what I've been told, the Automatic cars have C4 's in them. Near impossible to use a fluid actuated
lock up converter. If anybody is using a centrifical type lock up,..well that's been illegal for decades.

[Shawn Blair]

What about the current SS/IA record holder? If you don't think he's fast at sea level your very mistaken! Ya.. ya... he set the record in Boise, there was a certain SS/AA car that set the record there in 2001 then came to Mission a few weeks later and ran quicker.

Brewer is fast, but I really doubt he is the fastest SS/HA or SS/IA.

Brewer's car can run 9.60's and 9.70's anywhere in SS/IA. Find a faster sea level SS/IA car. Case in point, he went 9.74 at Gainesville this year, who's been faster? The Fogle's have been 9.60's in SS/HA with their Camaro also.

[Mike Carr]

The Worner's SS/IA ran 9.64 at Belle Rose in SS/IA this year.

Angelo DiTocco runs pretty well.

It amazes me they can get those cars light enough to run H.

Ed, thats because Ang cant get his car light enough to run HA, when he runs HA, he is ususally heavy for IA.
