BOGUS COMBINATIONS & NO CLASS RACERS RUIN CLASS RACING

Well Jim,

I do know Tom very well and not all of his records were set at factored tracks. Besides that Scribner 1700'. On a good day the corrected altitude there is maybe 3000'. I've raced there a lot and even when it had an altitude factor. I never ran anywhere close to as far under the index there as I have in Houston. On what the Texas natives called an average day.
If you look he went a 10.65 a couple weeks ago at Brainerd which also was not great air either. He is plenty capable of running in the .50's. I've watched that car go in the .60's at Marion SD which isn't exactly the greatest track in the world either.
Now I don't know you but your last couple sentences don't make you sound the best saying you have nothing against Tom but he couldn't run with either car. That's a bold statement.
I would love to see that race I think it would be very good.
