I haven't seen that car cross the scales but I was told that, when the horsepower adjustment comes along next week, the car will then be only about 120 overweight for U/SA instead of 180 pounds over the way it was this weekend.

Bob paid his dues back when he raced a Corvair.He has earned the right to race a easy combination.I think he won a National with that Corvair also.

Why will he get hit if the CIC race doesn't count towards the AHFS?
Uh Jack the FFF originated in NJ on classracer a few years ago.Archive it.It's still on here I think.Now Pa is a totally different story.

Ed,

I may have misinterpreted the status of the Sportsnationals but I was viewing it in the same way as a typical National Event. If I'm right, he should be receiving a visit from the horsepower fairy on the basis of his qualifying time for the regular Stock Eliminator program:
__________________________________________________ _____________
BELLE ROSE, La. - Final order after 3 rounds of qualifying in Stock Eliminator at the NHRA, Sixth annual JEG'S.com Cajun SPORTSnationals:

Psn--Num--Class-Driver, Home Town, Machine-----------------ET---Index---(+/-)

1 5159 U/SA Robert Shaw, Sedalia MO, '77 Seville 13.664 15.15 -1.486

I'm sure that he would be just as content to be left alone. Guess we should know for sure in a day or so.

And all the fuss last month was about a NEW mustang factor problem. Looks like there is a new combo to draw attention now. At least the Mustang is NEW and can have a positive impact on the image of Stock racing and factory involvement and spectator appeal. I bet the jealosy will not be so large in the complaints about this car.

[Jack Matyas]

Amen Dick -- I don't think because Bob Shaw went two seconds under anyone is going to run out and buy a new Caddy and help save General Motors . As for the jealosy factor -- well, lets just say most of us would like to have one of those new CobraJets.............Yes - even me -- a GM guy ! ! !

[Dick Butler]

Jack, Even I would like one of the new Mustangs> and I am also a GM racer. The idea of getting back in on the ground floor of what can be the restart of Stk and SS popularity with fans etc would be outstanding to me. I just wish a Camaro were going to make it. The dodge will make it neat also.

Jack,

Weren't you running in T/SA a lot last year?
Knowing he was going to be there and being that fast in U/SA,why didn't you run another class?

And, Cap'n Jack, did you get the 3-speed in and if you DID, what's the verdict??
