G/SA Current Record

M Brand 505B · 12-09-2013, 12:16 AM

There are some extremely fast G/SA cars in the country but if Mark Lelchook can fit his car in G/SA it'll be the fastest pre 2008 car out there. I'm not taking anything away from anyone else but I've ran against Mark and the car flat out flies!

Chuck and I were .005 or .015 apart at the 1000' on the run you mentioned. My car doesn't pull that hard on the top end so he could have ran faster than me. Nonetheless it was a great race at Indy and makes everyone realize you cannot take any 340 for granted!!!

This thead is awesome.Lets try and make it more interesting.
Why don't we G/SA racers get together at ATCO and put a nice $100.00 bill each up!
Fastest car to go thru teardown gets the $$$! This might encourage some guys to travel to ATCO .I m in and cant run with these boys.Or a little Jr Stock..
We could get Jack or Ken hold the $ and award it.Thats the way real $ racers race..
What do ya think?

Perrone that would be great. I would love to go, but 2600 miles round trip would be around 370 gallons of diesel or ~$1340. So, you would need 14 G cars for us to break even, IF we are the fastest (plenty fast G cars out there).

James,
In order to win the purse the fastest car should have to pull the pan to weigh the piston and rod and check ring grooves. If you can make that happen I'll put up Ron Infantino's $100.
Also don't forget the Atco Open is in May. While last year was mineshaft, two years ago it was 86 degrees.

Just noted that the Atco NO race is the same weekend as the Class Nationals. Knew it was up against the D2 Atlanta Double Divisional but it would make it tough to draw the top G (along with F and H cars that can fit G) cars anywhere and claim it as deciding anything. Personally, think there will be more G cars at Columbus vs. Atco or Atlanta.

Jim I agree with you. I didn't realize that the races were the same weekend. I have no problem putting up the 100 unless Dave will for me. ( I couldn't resist Dave) But the guys who feel that they don't have a chance might not. I think if its 50 bucks you may get more people to do it. Who knew G/SA would be so interesting. Barry

Sounds like a blast, once I get my motor back from Dr.Wann ill hit the road.

James Perrone · 12-09-2013, 02:54 PM

Ok sorry about the folks with the long drive.But this has to be done at an OPEN race so everyone is safe.David I agree but if a record is set the fast guy should get paid.
Who cars about May or april.only condition I want IS NO FACTORED RECORD.
Got to be a real track..Piston and rod lets talk..Also D-1 D2 D3 have plenty of G/SA players..Jimmy Countypuppy would love to have you and your DAD,,Its nothing but fun with Country Dog around!

Jim Bailey · 12-09-2013, 08:04 PM

Just a suggestion .... Gainesville, Turkey Trot National Open, Dec 2014.... All year to plan for it. ....National event Track.... National Open....65 degrees...Bar 30.00+ ...Sea level or - less....low pressure off east coast ...10 - 15 mph west wind ....... After the regular season..........( all winter to fix 'em. ) ...Stand back jack ! ... Who's your Daddy.
