I'm pretty sure you are correct!

Barry I've been called MUCH worse.

I like to think that I've been a little bit of "help" to at least a couple of Racers (or WTB Racers)on this forum.
If you would look under "ClassRacerBuilds" you will find;
"Under the Index for Under a Grand" and
"Not for Nuthin' But Close".
They're not exactly your cup-of-tea but you might learn something. Besides, you might try "slummin'" sometime! You might like it!

Oh, and when you decide that you REALLY want to help somebody, give that somebody your car to race.

Billy are you okay driving a fast car?

Billy, I have read your post on Class Racer Builds. It's not my cup of tea but I respect anyone that runs Stock and is working on their combo to try and make it faster. Instead of getting on here and wanting everyone to be equal by passing out HP to the faster cars. Frank is going to run my 94 car at several races this year. I do share. If I'm able to I will be at the Atco Open. I plan on running the test session. It would put a smile on my face to see you make a pass in my car. I bet it would attract some spectators. BP

Barry, I've raced Pappas' 98 Firebird a couple of times. No big deal.

Larry, I guess I should apologize to you for turning your very good thread upside-down.

*The "liked" is for Frank!

White knuckles for sure! I want to drive a 396/375 with the AHFS in effect. I'll fix that factor quick because my foot would be in it for 1400 feet! Oh yeah baby!

Yeah, Billy shows people how to MAKE something that they don't sell at Jegs or Summit.
The very next comment is "Billy, could you make one for me ? I'll be glad to pay you for it"

Billy you're starting to remind me of a news commentator. You take one line and jump on it. Then add words that weren't there so to fit your narrative and act like I said it. BP

Of course you didn't Barry. Just the facts.
Love, your local A-hole reporter.

*Back on the soapbox!

Barry (and anyone else), regarding this list of rule changes that you're talking about, everything that you've brought up here benefited your combo either in a performance, reliability or availability/ affordability way. Realistically, this list pretty much only benefits the Manufacturer's higher performance combos.
How do YOU think that the NHRA should be assigning higher HP ratings to these combos that benefit much more from the changes than the combos that benefit very little if at all? We ARE after all running in an Eliminator with a QUALIFIED field (the premise of this thread IS thinking about Indy!) and it hardly seems "fair" to be giving one combo a distinct advantage over another! We all should be getting the same chance to qualify based on parity and (right now) there is none.
Please, enlighten me.
