Sick Week

Anyone know Ahuja Rovic? He's running a saffron 67 Cutlass in DYO. Went a 10.88 yesterday, but has a bunch of 11.0x times on the results.

I read up on DYO, but don't quite get the comparison to <insert class here>. Some were comparing it to Comp Elim, some Stock or Super Stock, but it looks like regular old bracket to me? Then, there's Pro DYO? WTF?

I watched the awards last night. Frieburger and Finnegan gave the Firebird away to a daughter that was playing crew chief to her dad. Hits right in the feels.

I don't understand the 8.50 cap on some of the classes. And, that goes the same for 10.0 in some aspects. I need a 12.0 class. It's not the fastest, but I'm also not going to cut up a real 442 for a cage. Most of my hackery can be undone if it ever goes full restoration.

That's Tracy, a painter, out of Ohio. He's the founder of the anti-Ls consortium. Goes high 9s/low 10s with a Sniper on a BBO. Cool a$$ rig!

The class is dial your own, running bracket against yourself. They were looking for the smllest spread in the times submitted over the week. Not a avg like all the other classes.

Well, see, that's where things get tricky. I don't know that everyone will be lumped into SME. The way to win, as I see it, is to have a really f-in quick car for Unlimited or an 8.50 or 10.0 car for just about any other class because they're capped at those ETs.
i entered Street Race BB/NA, so i could run earlier in the day, and get on the road. Now, I'll be relegated down to D for no cage, and run last.
I'll still do it for fun, though.

I did it last year, and boned it in Indy- blew the trans. It's a 67 442, 468, 4sp, 9" locker



Gonna try again this year. Learned a lot on last one. I rode shotgun/crewed for a friend in 2019, and I was hooked.
