Cj vs drag pak first round

jmcarter · 11-13-2010, 01:18 PM

Apparently Cour turned up the wick on the supercharged car, 9.84/124 beat Norton's 9.86/133. He trailed at 60 foot but was considerably faster at the 660

Sorry to interrupt the moaning...

Chad Rhodes · 11-13-2010, 01:33 PM

124? Hahahahaha.

Btw Sean, congrats on your heads up win, and good luck!

Well here we go again, the CJ go's 111mph at eighth and 124mph at the finish, that speed would have gone deep into the 9.6 area or quicker, and as for Mr. Kour it's real EZ for him because it's not that hard to wright a check.

Here we go again, this self anointed "ruler" trying to make an issue of money in racing...

Who cares whose money it is, or how much it is? Nobody except the green eyed jealousy monsters....

By the way, just how fast did YOUR car go at Pomona this week?

Kevin ran a good race and won. End of story.

One of the better quotes about this stuff is from the West Coast by Chuck Rayburn: "If you can't run within 3 tenths of the leader, you can't vote."

So unless you own one of these cars, you can't vote. Gotcha. Keep the beer cold Jeff, see ya in Feb

Granted, semantics is sort of my job but....

I'd be willing to bet that "leader" in that context is defined as the guy with the fastest non-CJ or DP car.

hey Chad my I ask what do you race? Know the name just cant remember your car. Look I know the non CJ and DP racers are taking a beating in class but has either won a race this year? Getting the factories in stock and super stock will help the classes in the long run if and only if Glendora straighten things out so older cars dont hang it up. I am a little spoiled here in D1 where the car counts are still good, but I enjoy looking at the national events and seeing s/ss counts over 90.

I would hope so. If not nobody gets to vote.

Solution has already been devised.

Personally, I would love to have a new 428 Mustang one day if the prices ever come down because I think the new Challengers are just fugly. But like someone pointed out, no one watching these cars run the big numbers is standing on the starting line saying "wow, thats awesome, those guys did a great job". Once the factors come around I think it's going to be pretty cool to see '68 and '10 Cobra Jets racing each other. I just don't see the fun in beating someone by a half of a second because of a horsepower factor issue. Granted there are some combinations other than these cars that are off by ten, maybe fifteen horsepower but that's been the case for a long time now and being down a tenth in a heads-up run is not insurmountable in a lot of cases.

Class at the Dutch in C/SA was going to be awesome (if it ever got done); old camaro, corvette, 440 6-pack, lt1 cars. Class in A/SA was going to be a joke but had the potential to be a great show with a huge mix of american muscle both new and old if things were somewhere near correct.

Oh well, I guess time will tell if NHRA has any answer to this. Stinks to see the trend of guys going to Super Stock, running lower classes, and going to less races because of this.
