How is that car so over factored ? the motor has not been tricked out (yet) but that has nothing to do with the car being under factored from Ford or NHRA.

I also have a 2012 super cobra jet , picked it up from Tasac ford , had it tuned and it runs .97- 1.02 under in factory trim , and is 25 lbs over weight , and the motor has not been tricked out .Again how is this car so under factored ?

Another thought , who would buy these cars if they were slow ? so they need to be fast to sell . I no your sitting at home and not here , but here at the races there are a bunch of young guy racing new cars which is good for the sport

So to me as some one actually who races these car's they don't seem like they are that under rated from the factory . And every time I go 1.00 under AHFS kicks in and keeps track of it .

For the record I leaned my SS/BA car out to trying to go faster and burned the rings up in the car and withdrew from the race to let someone else have my spot to race . The car did not blow up and its still running its just got 35% on the leak down gage

I talked with David and Ray in the lanes and they stated the car would go 1.50 under but tuned it back, so again most of you guys posting here don't no what your are talking about for the simple reason that your not here racing.

I tip my hat to David and Ray Barton for the run they made ,they worked on that combo for 2 years and made it count and they will sell motors on Monday for there efforts.

The main issue with new vs old is technology and better parts and you cant stop car companies from building better cars . It would be UN American to penalize these cars and racers who buy them just because they are moving forward

Lastly , when you were a tech man was anything really stock ? You take credit for Top Stock in IHRA but when I started racing that class they were all cheating and no one did nothing about it including you . X tech man get a race car and race or shut the ***k up . There are plenty of guy racing well into their 70"s and even a top fuel guy 84 all of whom I respect and enjoy racing with and hope I will be able to do the same.

As long as you race everyone should voice their opinions , non racer should stop bitching about things they no nothing about . X tech man have you driven a new ford , Mopar or Chevy lately they are all great American cars

Kmachine,

email me your phone number (evan.smith@sorc.com) and i will gladly call you and tell you why i shut off at the 1,000 the first run.

I ran it flat out most other runs. Our quickest of the weekend was 9.47/141 mph.

I wish Anthony would have done the samewith the SS car!! J/K, Anthony is a good racer, but I was really looking forward to seeing SS/CA class. Originally entered was Anthony, Rock Haas and a new DP Challenger.

A heads up, out the back door race between Anthony & Rock would have been worth the price of admission! Hell, would have been worth of the price of the whole trip out for me!! And I don't mean that as a dig, I would love to see the baddest '08 cars in the country go at it. Its Indy, show what they were built for...

Was also busting B&B Bobs chops about teardown... I guess Bob and Dave got to work on yours in the barn instead, LOL!

BTW Todd, your car rocks! You're a true Stock Eliminator racer; fixing that car for Round 1 after breaking it in qualifying! Great job! Plus it's a stick shift car!
