Errrrr some people seem to be gearing up for a gunfight... Thats a small block Chevy no gas........

nah.....hp is one thing, converting that into a top running car with a good 60ft and ET for heads up is another thing, I beat a mid 8 sec car many moons ago at Garys Picnic with a 10 sec run, it only takes a few misfires (that was a chevy), and a crap RT and 60 and your a winner blue will remember that.

Les trust me on this one ,,he has the car to go with it ,,,and he can drive it

Probably as you say Pete, I don't know.....you can say that for sure when he runs well in the 9's in a leaf sprung car as per your SS rules.

I was trying to give some heart to those people who will find themselves in a heads up race with a car with much more performance/hp, and gave one example of what is sometimes possible (even against a tube car), if your car is set up well and your sharp on the tree.

Impressive, who's motor is that Pete?

Simon Parkers ,,,Camaro ......Dart block and heads etc.....Les you still don,t get it mate its a gathering of kindred spirits,,,like Woodstock but without all the hair :lol:Me and Simon getting at it

I get it Pete, its just a bit of fun getting pre-74 door cars together at a Meet, and calling it SS so your running against similar American muscle for a time slip, instead of a beetle or similar...your just creating an all American RWYB.

So why not include back halved cars, 4-link/l-bars, why restrict it for the sake of SS Tradition when those rules really don't mean anything here, including qualifying, thats just a format to find a winner, your just excluding some pretty good machinery, (Pete/Cliff and many others), and seeing its just for fun, who cares who you come up against, its still only for a time slip really, the fastest car wins and gets a free Beer or a trophy or something?.

I guess at a £100 per weekend for 4 peeps, its reasonable and good fun getting pi55ed with a bit of strip action thrown in.
