That's true, but the factories have to go to war. Even if the collective Ford bashers signed a petition to get Chevy to brand a Top Fuel engine, Chevy would probably not do so. Chevy has to want to fight this. If they did, the forums would definitely be lit up!

There, fixed it for you

That's awesome. It's true. Can Chevy afford it? Probably not. But they have that fancy Camaro that transforms into Bumble Bee. I wonder how much that cost?

I'm sure that commitment was made long before the economic pooh hit the fan...

and you wonder why the sport is in the state that it's in?

Back to the subject.
Mid 90's, Scott driving, Dick-O tuning. Black rear mains (so the motor's out) were the plauge that weekend, but hey it's not smoking the tires...
Killed 4 blocks in qualifying, 4 more on raceday - which they won - and one causuality by the tow vehical!

 

[Super Mod]

Here's a thought. Limit the number of block changes to two. I bet the speeds drop faster than the Dow Jones. Two problems solved. Excessive mph and oil downs.

not jealous brother gray, is wat it is,, more respect 4 the wood spoons guys than the silver spoon guys

...Limit the number of block changes to two...

What is TV show like if they only have six cars left for the first round...
Maybe have only one qualifying run per day so they will have one block left for race day...
What happens when there's no cars left for the final round...

I was told tonight about a team that went through five engines between the Seattle and Sonoma race. And two or three of them were borrowed. Sheez I'm still feeling the effects of destroying one engine from last year.
