Old vs New during rounds

RJ Sledge · 02-21-2014, 12:30 PM

The original post should have read, "Name the number of times since 2009 that a old car beat a new car in Class/Eliminator, unless it was a throw away run by the New car"

I lost the Class final in E/SA @ Indy in 2013 to a new car. I went .988 under the index and the winner went 1.15 under backing in to me.

I also had the same car and driver 1st round of Stock Eliminator at the same race. ......Can you say " Have a nice day".

How many of the New car owners and drivers had old cars that were capable(fast and legal) of winning Class at Indy?

I own and race a 67 Fairlane and a 2010 Mustang 352 CJ , both can run D/SA.......guess which one if faster??

Mr. RJ sir, thanks for your input and I understand where your coming from. I wasnt including Class wins because they are a different animal and usually they dont mean anything these days. I love class racing which is why I do have a new car. But when it comes time for eliminations the chance for a heads up is that common. Sir, how many different classes do both your cars fit in?

I wish NHRA would come up with some type of heads up racing for a STK or SS car like prostock. I even believe we asked for some sort of heads up racing but were denied by NHRA. So we play were we can play.

I know some of us say that "advance" isnt the correct word but if techonolgy doesnt ADVANCE then how does the world grow? I guess we should all be using computers, phones, cars, and whatever else you can think of that has come from the 70's. I mean if in 44 years things havent advanced then how is the world like it is?? Hp factors as well as enging builders have had to change due to the changing times. Come on guys you cant really believe that a car built in the 70's, 80"s, or even the 90's should compete with cars built of today.

In my opinion, that *should* be Pro Stock today. To see the factory race cars unleashed would be an incredible and engaging show. I'd like to feature something like this at an event, but have been waiting for NHRA to square things up. The Factory Stock concept is there, but seems to be all over the map right now. We'll try to do some research and attempt to have a plan in place for next year by the end of summer so people have time to plan for 2015.
