I sense crankiness. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
I think Paul is cranky because he came up with the CI cutoffs and he's feeling defensive. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Southern Shootout grudge racing
I am going BUT, I have to say this again. That CI cutoff is completely arbitrary and in fact goes against CI cutoffs for the NMCA, NSCA, and just about any other musclecar-oriented heads up racing events... Ditto (proportionately) for Mustangs with their FFW, World Ford, and NMRA.
The cutoff really needs to be up to STOCK CI + .060 overbore... that is considered to be the limit of rebuilding a SBC. So a 362ci is the max that should be allowed in the future. A 372, 377, 378, 382, 388, 393, 396ci LS1 is a bigbore or a conventional stroker so it will have over a 3 tenth advantage in that class. It's a flawed cutoff and I think Joe did that to favor his own car.
In future for the LS1Tech races next year you will see a max cutoff of 362ci for stock cube classes or LESS.
In any event, I just wanted to get that off my chest, when we researched NFRA we talked to about seventy racers to come up with the structure.
John
422ci that I might spray so I can run more rounds or I might bracket race
