Agree 100% with Alan.

Only outspending your competition to win is a very hollow satisfaction.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to call our decal maker for my "P's & Q's". (Wonder if anyone will get that joke...)

Okay, I have to ask.Why didn't you just run 13.50 or so and protect the combo?

Can 128 of us still build trucks and qualify for Indy or is the combo ruined?

Just a note on language here.

I've heard the term Nostalgia used in connection with the "older" cars. In a lot of racing and collecting circles, referring to a vintage or classic muscle car as "nostalgia" will get you, um, shot.

Just saying'

Sorry my mistake - I thought the ANRA (American Nostalgia Racing Association) allowed 40 year old cars - LMFAO

Ask Dad on that one.

I'd say combo is ruined, but won't know till tomorrow.

The v6 auto will very good.

V8 auto and stick are excellent.

Smile Re: What's wrong with Stock?

Just watch who starts crying when the Hellcat hits the track with 375 HP rating, all those other $100k cars will be worthless. It's just a matter of time for all the Copo's and Cobra Jets will hope that NHRA does their job just like the older cars owners have been waiting for. OK, maybe not 375 hp, maybe 400 hp. You have to remember that Mopar is producing that engine in a street car, just an overrating of hp on the advertisement for the public. It will be like back in the day if you were a street racer, there was never a 396/375 or 427/425 ever was built, only 396/325 in your big block Camaro's.

Not ruined. probably be about a 1.00 second under
combo now if someone works hard at it. no easy
deal now.

Question Re: What's wrong with Stock?

Am I only dreaming is it possible to have as fair
a playing field as possible for old and new ???
I think the diversity of stock and super stock
is what makes it "way cool" to quote a sticker.
Indy had vehicles from 1955 to 2014 this year.
I think that is great. Would be boring to have
128 of the same vehicle. To quote someone
else "can't we all just get along ? "
