I'm just surprised that any new driver can come along with an old Mustang and run faster than guys that have been developing the Fox for years. The rules haven't changed and the S197's are gone....

And why aren't you at Nationals? Guess I haven't been following that closely this year. You not running?
I'm...not sure...I buy that. Started from the back and passed the entire field and ran 1.6 seconds faster than 2nd place while doing it? I would think CMC rules are way too tight for any car/driver...
What's the scoop on McSpadden? He's 2 to 3 seconds faster than the rest of the field in every session. Started at the back in first race due to no qualifying time and passed the entire field with a...
Are the Texas drivers sandbagging again? Midwest drivers take 1,2,3 in first round qualifying at Nationals.

That motor was sweet. I bought it from Dan Nicoter in Milwaukee where he used it to win the ITGT Championship in '97 and '98 with Midwestern Council. I pulled it when we decided the cheapest way to...
Glen,
Depends on what Ratio he needs to hit. TJ Bain has done pretty well running 305's in his 3rd Gen AI car. We use to get 315-325 rwhp out of ours before we switched to CMC and new donors were...
Quick question: Going to be in Dallas/Ft. Worth area next week. Anything car guy related you'd recommend? Most likely Thursday night or Friday morning to be more specific.
Thanks,
Sidney...
David,
You obviously have no clue about tech at Mid-Ohio or the Race Directors involved. It's bullshit comments like this that keep racers away from Nationals.

Unfortunately NASA Nationals is that special as it's the one event that can be considered the place where the best drivers race together. If you don't agree with that then we'll just have to agree to...
You're so full of shit and you know it. If you had the cash to be there you'd have a completely different view. I really thought you got it...guess not.
The point I was trying to make is any...
And who's fault is that? The fastest guys in CMC are registered. Those that aren't can't complain. Either get to Mid-Ohio or shut up.
Sidney
They'll all be at Mid-Ohio on September 6th!
I do! Ander's, Kent, Derek, and Bob are the fastest guys out there in CMC and Glenn/Adam would agree. The data from Ander's S197, Kent's LT1, Derek's LS1, and Bob's 3rd gen is as good as it gets.

Not DQ'ing at Regional events and you end up with Lexan Side Windows at Nationals! Last time I checked...CMC was a Nationally recognized class. When the Midwest boys tow out to Hallett, or VIR, or...
I talked to Steve Poe quite awhile on Friday. The car Chris was driving is for sale for $20,000. He said a decent 2005 GT can be bought for around $10,000. Black interiors bring good money on...
My brake ducts are mounted to a plastic panel that is dzus fastened to my stock Firebird front fascia. One spot under the right brake duct drug on the tech inspectors templet. Nothing can be lower...
So far this year we've had a 3rd gen carb Firebird on 16's win, a 4th gen LT1 on 17's, and two different S197 Mustangs win at Mid-Ohio. And...they all four threw away wins by spinning off! If you can...
If you can figure out a way to make a little more power...move up to CMC2. Most of us dyno less than 260...I'm around 252/253. And...if you are consistant, smooth, don't run into others, and stay on...
Have you seen the schedule? The "Big Race" is first up Saturday right before lunch. CMC cars on the grid for the National Athem. Going to be a Kodak moment!
Sidney
Midwest Region
CMC2 #64
I want to know what the #23 car pulled uncorked and how many hidden/adjustable power adders he found?
Sidney
I sort of agree with Mitch. I can lock up my tires now with stock LS1 brake calipers. My pads and rotors don't have any issues with abnormal wear and don't fade during 30 or 45 minute races. Pad cost...
The Midwest 3rd Gen CMC2 cars are all on LS brakes, 16 inch wheels, 255/16 tires, & stock rear spoilers. I don't see any of that changing.
I dynoed a couple Fridays ago. 305, CMC2 cam, Hooker...
Adam,
God love ya but I'm calling BS. There is no way in hell any of you guys racing on the same track as Anders missed the huge chrome air scoops in his quarter windows! What did you think...he...
