Nice! Here in D1, we have a few divisional tracks that get good spectator turn out. It also helps that these tracks go the extra mile to help get them there and they're actually glad to have us there as well!

Thats it! I am build a bigger motor for next year!

Hey Barn,
A little birdie told me that there's a motor at CBS's shop that might do the trick. All alloy 600+ inches with all the fixin's.

See you and Colorful at the races,
Wayne Kerr

Like to stay and play, but have to go to work so I can take out my little 468 and put in a bigger engine!

go to the super stock forum and suggest delay boxes.....see how that goes for ya...

I LOVE THIS STUFF! LOL!!

Wayne, anything CBS has is to big for me

I was thinking a down to earth 565 with nothing fancy. I am finishing my 8th season on my 540 with over 1700 runs on it (Thanks Zimmerman Brothers) and would like to replace it while it would still make a good back up.

Heck CBS is going SS & Stock racing, no big inches there, pure hp vs cubic inches

The part I don't like about the timers is that it requires you to spend more money to be competitive in the class. In other words, it provides a distinct advantage to those who spend the most money
******QUOTE********

Ummm you have this BASS ACKWARDS, the throttle stops and timers help REGULATE the cost of winning in this class. If you want to burn Real Big Money for little payout try racing TAD, TAFC, TOP SPORTSMAN, TOP DRAGSTER, COMP, or ANY PRO CLASS

Take it from me I placed #9 in national points last year and I had the slowest MPH in the top 20. Is there an advantage of going fast....... YES....is it necessary to win..... NO! You just need to out dial or out drive the other racer.......and I would love to see some of those "OLD SCHOOL" racers in Super Comp, there would be a LINE of people following him up into the lanes first round....LOL

By the way, try to explain COMP ELIMINATOR to a fan if you think Super Class racing is unfavorable! Weight / Cubic Dollar

Dont talk about what you do not know!
