view of finals and cars?

Who said that pro stock is easier than stock. Just because someone puts 16v batts in their car does not make it easier to hit a magic #. From what I saw at the finals it's all about testing and tuning. I saw U testing more than everyone else in the place,Kevin.That why U are where U are.The spot that everybody in that class wants.
As far as money is concerned, everybody is broke!!!!
Just that they have a different walk of life.

STL baby

But ugly cars get loud. hope mine gets semi loud once it is done, it isn't to ugly. LOL

That is interesting. Some class had only 1 or 2 competitors. Mod 4001+ only 2 competitors. mod 2001-4000 only 1 competitor.

New classes this year made the openings. We expanded classes and the finals show that was a mistake. We were led to believe that there were a ton of high powered cars out there that had no place to compete in USACI and as such we changed the classes to accommodate them. Most of those classes were lacking this year in participation. We will adjust the classes for 2008 based on these results.

I think if you check the result of any other finals you will see they all experienced the same issue this year…

So Ralph were you happy with the turnout.....it seemed pretty good to me! Start advertising it earlier and use USACi finals instead of Tuner Jam and i think you may gain a ton more interest, not many Tuner cars around here. I would love to see it back again next year if this year was bigger than KC wait till next year and see how it does, people unsure that went this year will tell all their friends and wanna come check it out again next year and may be twice as good of a turnout........

It wasnt bigger than KC are you kidding there was only 5000 spect thru the gates both days KC had 14 to 15 thousand there was just a few more comp cars heck our team alone expanded to 6 more cars this year.

the whole hall in Neb = 1 of the five leased in KC

Im not hating for the record I liked it and had fun but the truth needs to be told here

This is the first and last vehicle I make good decent. I had to hire a pitbull to watch over it while I went and walked around or talked to people. I know my van looked like deuce last year at USACi Finals and someone still have the nerve to key it while I left to go watch people in the lanes. Sad.

That was some BS...i met ur pitbull at drag finals..she ant all that mean...

Hey you were not supposed to see me testing. LOL. I think Crash had everyone beat at finals as far as testing went.

I never said 16v would make the magic number come up.
I said that being able to use unlimited batteries and up to 16v is easier than being limited on voltage and batteries.

Yeah, once the NY guys let us borrow the charger, it was burp, charge for a few minutes, burp, charge for a few minutes. I don't even want to know how many burps we did just Sunday.

I got home Sunday put on a pair of shorts looked at my legs and they where brusied from the knee cap up on both of them from craming my fat arse down in the floor board getting out and doing it again. Damn it was fun though.

Funny thing is a real panda would be a few decibals louder.

HEY THATS AN AMERICAN PANDA BRO LOL
