If you think we are slacking off in b/a I encourage you to come by our pit and take a look at the equiptment we have and the hours we put in off the track. Not too sure what kind of air you ran those 7.0's in but we ran 7.16 @ 4000ft altitude. We also have been 7.08 with a 1.01 60ft following the Ficco automatic car going .992 in air way over 2000ft. We just raced against a dodge with a qualifying Larry Morgan engine at our last race and out ran it by .14 and mph too. I've done the math in some of the air I've seen people race and we could have gone deep into the 6.90's. We expect much better numbers later in the season when we finish our new engine. We will see.
Where Is ?

well we went 1.040 @ 2700 lbs when we ran the 7.09 @ 193.54. it definitely should have been better then that as i over ran 3 gears. I didn't exactly say you are slacking, simply said it seems that things have slowed in the category compared to 3 or 4 years ago when everyone was trying to run the class. Believe me if we wouldn't have sold our Neon we would be out there. Had to get rid of it to finish a new car (A/D) that was supposed to be done quite some time ago. Wish we would have kept the car to continue to race!! just curious who the car was with the Morgan engine?
Danny how big is the engine that you are running right now? If you don't mind me asking!

I have hard time believing that you out ran an engine of Morgans that would qualify in Pro Stock by that much!!!! Especially when three of his engines qualified within a hundreth or two at the last race!! More then likely thats not an engine that would be a top contender or something else was wrong!!

Well we used to outrun the 430 - 450 cid guys quite often with the 500" motor. The car always worked very well!!
It sounds like you had the fastest B/A? Why don't you put one together and go 6.90's you would have a top qualifier? Morgans slop would be at least a tenth better that what you had. 6.90s should be easy.

i can't remember to many races where we got out ran by another B/A!! Just curious if your stuff was the fastest why did you get rid of it and go another direction. I have spoken with Morgan about doing another B/A car while we are waiting on our other chassis and it may be possible.
Ness Neon
It is hard to imagine any BA car being faster than the Eaton, Waters , DePalma Neon. They ran 7.06 3 years ago on old, made in Chile,Good Years. That car was sold cause it was fast.

well that would depend, but i would tend to agree with you that it should be a lot faster, but hey sh** happens. the good thing is that i am told it is almost done which is a huge relief!!!

we ran 7.09 3 years ago as well on chile tires! The one neat thing about their car was that it was a down scaled version of the legal pro stock car that we had. when we were side by side in the stagng lanes at INDY in 04 it made our look like a mac truck!!
