Default The other -1.200 run at Sportsnationals

Did anybody notice the -1.200 under run for GT/MA on the trophy run?

3573 John Stock 2093 Bobby Dennis
C2 ****WINNER**** 0.071 10.550 121.11 0.029 10.709 121.59
GT/MA Index: 11.75 (+/-): -1.200 GT/MA Index: 11.75 (+/-): -1.041

Looks like GT horsepower on Tuesday for the baby LT-1 (265 cubic in. Caprice).

How about the battle for SS/LA supremacy? Garrett Ghezzi with his '69 AMX vs. Bill Rink in his '74 GTO? Both agreed to stay in it even if red lighting.
Rink leaves 1st with a -.021 light, Ghezzi leaves with a -.009 light (guess both had too much adrenelin in the veins!). But they stayed in it and it was door handle to door handle all the way to the stripe. Ghezzi takes the lead with a 10.502 to Rink's 10.512!
Rumor is that Rink was quickly on the phone with Patterson Engineering

This determines the SS/LA winner.

He should have been on the phone with NHRA trying to get some aftermarket parts approved for his car.

Seriously You are NOT going to get sympathy from me on this subject. These two cars were running a second under killing 20mph. You don't think this combo need hp? The C car went 132mph in the final... You show me the last pre-2008 C car to run that kind of mph. That's enough mph to run 10.00 in C. I think the combo will be okay with an extra 50-100#

If thats the case, good thing it was tore down before a horsepower hit was handed out.

Any details on why it did not pass?

I might have a little something to say with regards to SS/LA...as I went 10.46 at BIR in 'Bracket Mode', then went 10.35 in Earville, Ia in SS/KA a couple weeks later at ALMOST LA weight.

Just Sayin'

The little Voges 305 is FLYIN'..........now, if we can only be smart about it, and avoid a Hp hit. 2013 could be VERY interesting.

First of all I want to say that Garrett is a friend of mine. This statement does not reflect negatively on him. That being said one of those parts that the AMC's got a few weeks ago is what made that race so close. Going from a small AFB to a 780 Holley had to be .10 to.15. That's what happens when someone who has no clue about stock and super stock make decisions like this.
