Yes chad. I must be lost. Would you please fill me in on how the world of NHRA works?

P.S. you guys are all lost because this combo was in SS last year! I believe Mr. Wolfe ran it a handful times.

And that is where it belongs in SS or maybe comp.

I just don't see the argument that the younger crowd can relate to these cars and therefore have interested in Stock Eliminator. Kid X goes to the Summernationals and sees new Mustangs running crazy fast then goes to his nearest dealer and purchased a Mustang GT 5.0....but wait, the 5.0 isn't an approved car. Sorry kid, call Ford Racing and shell out $85,000 for a car you can't even legally drive down the street. Worst part is, the 5.0 at 412 horsepower would be a very competitive combo but Ford will put a large dome on the piston and bigger cam and rate it at less. So kid X is still screwed because he's building a brand new motor for his new car. There are no "kids" getting into our game with these new cars and the $100,000 price tag they have. Plain and simple.

Mike,

I think Jeff Teuton is a "big kid", he acts like it, and seems to be enjoying it. Good for him.
