Protest at Indy.

I thought this class is a performance oriented type racing. I have heard so many times this isn't a bracket class. So a guy performs to the best of his ability and its frowned upon. I'm confused.

Not by most of his fellow racers he isn't.

I'm somebody who runs the same combo as Jim. I ain't mad at him. I'm impressed. I probably can't get within 2 tenths of that number in those conditions. He knows there are plenty of turds out there like me to keep the avg down and it's his car. So he can do as he pleases, unless it's 1.20 under, of coarse. Besides, none of this data counts, so what's the fuss over? Build that camaro Fred, you'll find out real quick this combo ain't soft to begin with

Right now Jim's car is the yardstick that everyone with a carb strives to be better than. Sherman's 'Vett is way past bad fast, and like Jim's car Is correct. Sherman pulled a piston and went through the rest of the teardown with flying colors. Two fast cars that pass Indy teardowns. Wonder how much the cars are?

Allen Sherman is used to 4000' air as well. It's always fast.

Thanks for the compliments mr Larry and mrs patsy...it was a long day in the barn that was worth every second. Mr Ed the hard work you put in your car at your age is a inspiration to a guy like me that I gotta keep working hard to get it done...

Why is everyone getting there pants in a uproar about the protest just like it his car he can do what he want they can make sure he is legal I don't think any of you guys would like someone beating the combo you are in. Also does Gary Richard have the steel head because that was impressive run at 412 hp rating
