La. B/sa corvette testing in memphis last nite

Kenny Bomar · 08-27-2017, 10:02 PM

I'm not sure what stirring the pot means but I witnessed something last nite that might qualify. I was competing in our local bracket race last nite wishing I was in bowling green, I would have been but I need to keep my points up in my bracket car so I can defend my two years in a row bracket finals mod class championship in October. My stocker isn't fast enough to compete w the big dogs but Jeff Taylor is working w me and says he will get me there so maybe next year. Back to the stir we were surprised by a visiting certain B/sa corvette out of louisana passing thru on the way to ( a race somewhere up north next weekend) !! I'll say this he was clicking the 60's w the back wheels and putting up some very impressive numbers and thrashing on it between passes so u B/sa cars better bring the big guns or do like me n stay on the porch til u get some !!

Without numbers there's nothing to "stir"

I thought the J Allen Sherman thread had ended but evidently not. On that thread, there was a fairly detailed discussion over a heads up race the J Allen lost (dumped). If you do the arithmetic; on the incremental s, he was on a high 9.80 pass. I think he can go as fast as he wants.....maybe into the 70's in good air. We will have to ask Billy but I know of no other team that is even in the same zip-code. This is a very stout effort; all HP factors aside. I will be surprised if he shows it all at Indy but I will bet you will see some of it....right up to the time for pictures.
