13's, 14's vs. 9's , 10's

Alas, poor Tara Reade had a meltdown the other day. Seems she never filed a sexual harrassment complaint with any Congressional enforcement office like she said. And she can't remember who she made the complaint against. But now Faux News, Mark, HP Hunter and millions of other fanboys of Trump have egg on their faces. In reality Tara needs help and hopefully she will get it soon. She's a sad case.

Are you talking about the interview with Megyn Kelly? And if so, do you think that is/was a hard hit? Do you expect her to just go away now that she has gotten all this warped attention? She's still milking it for all it's worth. She's been turned down by dozens of competent law firms so this carnival attorney is a joke, if she stays with her.

Can someone please direct Mr. Wells to the posts on this thread that refer to Tara Reade prior to my posts? He seems a bit confused.

Let's start with the Jr. Stock era. 13 to 16 second cars were quite popular then. Car Craft and other mags did many articles on them . The average working guy ,who couldn't afford a new muscle car, could get together with his buddies and build a lower class car in his driveway.
Some of these guys did quite well at the national events too. Names like Boertman, Hedworth, Barkley, Ripes, Neja, and Dilcher come to mind.

Starting in 1972 , NHRA threw a monkey wrench into the works. Jr Stockers were pushed into Super Stock. New indexes were created, which were to become new national records.
Still , if your lower class car got a decent break, you could do alright in eliminations.
At the 72 Summernationals, the last three remaining SS cars were Larry Nelson, winner (SS/T), Anthony Cieri , runner up (SS/Q) , and yours truly, (SS/PA) Not a traditional, fast SS car in sight.

Next, we come to the flat out era of 1975-76. With no breakout in effect, we saw lots of "index beaters" of the slower persuasion

Sometime later on, NHRA started handing out a bunch of free tech goodies. The indexes were not lowered, correspondingly . Eventually, the whole field could run under and just dial it in. I'll call this the "ET racing" era.
A few guys with 10 second cars began to do quite well, in leave second, come from behind mode. It became an unwritten rule that you had to be a chaser in this style of racing. More and more 9 and 10 second cars appeared on the scene.

It is my opinion that , if a guy can afford to go to 7-8 divisionals, that many nationals, and chase points, he can probably afford a fast car too. Why not? It's more fun, plus we know now, you can't win anything with those slow things..Right, Billy?

Dave Young would have some info on that .Also we had to dial the MPH too.Take away the sand baggers

I raced my Jr Stocker in the ‘60s & 70s. Ran off records, no dialing, tenth under allowed. .011 under = break out. Never “dialed MPH”. Never heard of that one.

I think we discussed this a while back...
Who was last person to win a Nat. with a 14 second vehicle?
Mike Smith?
Tom Ward?
Larry Hill?

How many people won stock with a 15 + second vehicle? I know Mark and Billy. National events. Can people name who?
