Heard in the Stands at the Indy - Page 7

Art, my flywheel registers and centers on the outside diameter of the crank flange, not the inside. So I'm not sure that would work. The flywheel is actually machined out to where the face of the crank flange recesses into it for centering.

Cary,

I have a fix that might work, just "grease the palms" of the tech inspectors, after all that's what the manufacturers do to the NHRA.

Good Luck,

Zedrone

With Chevrolet on board sponsoring the event, the huge turnout of the big 3 factory cars, and your performance numbers from last years event; there was NO way a Honda was going to sit on the pole this year. So they clipped your wings before you could fly. I have so much respect for all of you guys who continue coming back after being sucker punched time and time again by the politics that have permeated this particular sanctioning body’s policies.

Carey had the car entered in Comp (DD/AT) not Super Stock; and the #1 qualifier in Comp was Mike Depalma's 2010 Pontiac GXP in AA/AT. So much for your conspiracy theory.

her's one of our customers blowing away a 1200HP AWD TURBO NERD CAR, last weekend at a heads up street/grudge race program event.

Was the Mustang fast or can the import guy just not drive?

Either way I like it!

Alex I wish someone had videos of my non turbo nerd car (246 hp) blowing away various Cobra Jets. LOL

We have a lot of the "rice rocket" "turbo nerd" racers or whatever you want to call them down here in Florida. My take on the situation after watching many, many of them is that #1. They have no idea how to cut a light, nor do they understand why it's important. #2. They hit the rev limiter for a second or two before shifting rather than shifting at assigned RPM points. This video supports my assumptions and is very typical of the average driver. Did you see that Mustang driver mow the tree down! Jim

I saw that mustang owner deep stage before the other car was even staged. I would of just sat there until he backed up.

No excuse for the driving from the "nerd" car though.

I would vote the latter based on that video.
