Thanks for your show of empathy, but please don't worry about me. FYI, the word bitter does not apply to me. You guys may think what ever you please but don't confuse candid language with bitterness. Many of us don't like what the OEM's and nhra have done to Stock but that does not mean any of us are going nuclear. You live with your thoughts and actions and we'll live with ours. Deal?

Bruce,
I understand that you may be upset with NHRA but there is not much us sportsman racers can do with the deals that are made between them and the OEM's. We are just lucky enough that we can afford to buy the new stuff and race in the class that NHRA was allowed us to. Let's not forget that alot of that have the new stuff have races the old stuff as well. I drove my fathers 1969 Superbee with a 440 6pack and I promise we were the slowest C/SA in the country but we still showed up and raced. We now have earned a new bread of cars and as we raced the old cars we will race our new ones. I have been on somewhat of both ends of the stick. My father definantly has, considering he went to Indy, didn't qualify, and drove back to Louisiana. So I'm very happy to see that he can show up anywhere and make the show. Deal Bruce!

Ok now y'all got that out of the way....i think 8.80s by butner. Wish we had a blower so we could come play, but at least i get to watch and race a bada** hemi in the eliminator. Joseph, i think y'all should run bb/sa. Leave cc/sa to us slow 6.1 guys. But we'll still have to deal with that darn 427. Oh well, Mayb we can push him into some hp.

Don't know if the CJs can get in the 8's at 3,675 lbs unless the air is unreal, and still maybe not then. I'm sure that we will find out!

David at this point im not sure where we gonna fit in. I dont think we will go into cc/sa and im not sure that yall are the "slow" guys in cc/sa. Yall run right there with us when we are in cc/sa.
Brett i hope we will be able to see just what them cj's can run. Us slow guys will have to find another class to run in. Our measly 9.26 passes arent enough. Hey if all the cj's enter into fs/s maybe i can be the fast guy in bb/sa...what ya think about that? Lol i cant wait to see how many of yall (cj's and copo's) will run in the 8's!!

Well, as Joey knows, because he spanked my tail heads up, (poor V10!) our CJ has never shown that kind of performance. Would be like going to a bazooka fight with a water pistol with what we know. With that being said those who know our boss, we may give it a whirl. Hoping to find some speed in ours and go try it.
3675 + lbs is a load to carry to get in the 8's! Would really be shocked without serious prime conditions. Would be ashamed not to have one of if not the quickest Dodge in it! Besides Joey, I see you guys are coming with a full on assault for SS/DA!!! Should be interesting! Brett Candies 4192 Stock/SS |

Bret that's a good one! Lol we didn't really spank your butt, you just had bracket mode set on the computer. We just snuck up and got pass ya. Lol
Well truth be said Mr. Durham said they have the fastest v10 so I'm not sure if we will be able to see the fastest Dodge. But with us being the 2nd fastest and yea we are bringing 5 cars total with 2 of them carrying v10's you never know what our plans are. Also I believe everyone knows my boss so........... Lol

That was all we had brother! Would never give up a class race for "bracket mode"! And yeah, you spanked us!
Hopefully we can get that thing as fast as those V10's so we can play in the FS/S. You have my word, if we can get that quick, we'll be in it. Brett Candies 4192 Stock/SS |
