Atco Records - Page 3

Well, not completely clear. I run D/SA so that is where my interest is coming from, otherwise I wouldn't even pay any attention.

So did you set the D/SA record in a 2004 GTO? I don't know how you could do that since according to the class guide the 2004 GTO has a 10.96 lb/hp break which is a natural F, very nearly G. You cannot drop more than one class from natural so that car is not legal in D. So what car did you drive to set the D/SA record? That's all I'm interested in.

Thanks,
Bill H

Mr. Joe is that the same 96 S10 with a different grill or is that a new truck? Also how did the teardown go being there is no info about the motors on NHRA.com for the 1998+ trucks.

Bill , If you go back to post number 13 in this thread , Jack explained that he set the D/SA record with another car ( Firebird LT1 ) . He withdrew that car and re-entered in his 04 GTO in E/SA . The run listed for his qualifying time was for the Firebird NOT the GTO. Information got mixed up on the sheet. There was NO 1.47 under run just the info mixed up. His GTO is an 04 with a HP rating of 350/340. I hope this clears this up once and for all !!!

Thanks for the info. In post #13 it says:
"Tom -- Yes , you've got it right -- I set the D/SA record on Friday then changed cars and ran the race in E/SA -- I could have never done it without the help and support of my partner Bill Myers and my team member Rich Saz ."

I guess I'm just too old and stupid to see where that says anything about a Firebird. All that is mentioned to that point (and beyond) is a GTO. For all I know it was the same car with a different hood or added weight or whatever. I don't run in Div 1 and don't know Jack (literally) so I don't know what cars he owns or races. If I get information from the web, it is generally pretty reliable. If something doesn't seem to add up and it affects me since it realtes to my class, I'm gonna ask questions. Sorry if I pissed on anyones Wheaties.

It doesn't say anything about a Firebird. I said Firebird in my post and that is why it was in parenthesis. It says plainly that he changed cars. Nothing more nothing less.

Thanks Dave I couldn't have said it better myself -- Opps - wait a minute I did say it ! ! ! BTW guys my age don't do Wheaties --- we're mostly Raisen Bran w/granola --- keeps us "regular" .

Give the guy a break, it was not clear on the qualifying sheets and if you were not at Atco it gets confusing. My word, a little touchy for older guys, the man has a D/SA and is intereested in what happens. Is this where I challenge someone to a fight at the racers. LOL, LOL, just kidding, I am a lover not a fighter.

Great run Jack, looking forward to seeing the car in person.
