BBF Horsepower - Same as Cheating??
I had a call this morning informing me of rumors about my 58 "cheating" in the Unleashed Index races.
The basis for the allegations............I am running more MPH more than the Chevy guys! Therefore, I must be doing something illegal. These dudes are even allowed to spray to make the index.
This may be exactly what I need to make the decision to upgrade to the Thor heads and a bigger cam. If these guys are nervous about MPH....man...I can give them some more!
So, beware. If you are sporting a BBF, you may have an unfair advantage over your opponents :-)
Before the next race, I am going to duct tape some cardboard around the tunnel ram and put about a dozen wires coming out from under a rag taped on to my shifter. I may even put a little rubber antenna on the deck lid.
This will be even more fun...

Well if they are saying you are cheating then put some bowtie emblems on it.

Put a couple of signs by some switches. "electronic turbo boost", and "jet fuel injector" and one that says "hold on mama". Make sure they are blank switches with no wires going to them, and watch them scratch their heads for hours.

Sounds to me as if they have NO CLUE as to how a throttle stop works and what happens with the MPH when someone DOES know what they're doing, lol.
They simply need to learn how to drive to take best advantage of the index.

Yeah...but this index class does not allow timed throttle stops. I removed my stop and timer..and delay box from the car. Even with restrictor plates on the Toilets, it still runs pretty good. I think it was weighing around 3890# for most of the runs. The Walmart folks must think that I am a fitness freak....I bought all of their barbell weights last week for ballast.
Thanks!

What's funny is that even after you beat them, they just say it's either just lucky or you cheated. Then they check you over, tear it apart, and can't find anything illegal, still won't admit that you make more power than they do, and go spend a pile of money on better stuff only to lose again.

Keith,
I remember years ago a car like yours was at Brown County Dragway was that you? I had a Orange 70 Merc Cyclone and paked on top of the hill.
All I can say is you need to put this on the back window of your car
"You think you know, but you have know idea!"
Mess with their head get all in it!

Yes!
That was me.
I used to go the Brown County Dragway (Bean Blossom) to watch my '58 run when I was about 12 years-old. My buddy, Paul Johnson used to race it there. I always go back there to race when I get a chance....just for the memories. I just ran there last summer!

Re: BBF Horsepower - Same as Cheating??
That is so true Keith!!! Several times at our 1/8 mile track, I was accused of lying about the cubic inch of my engine in the Banana. One guy told a friend of mine last year, that "there's no way that's a 521 in that truck" 'cause I ran door to door with one of the track favorite's 632 powered Chevelle. Every pass!! I guess they just can't take it...

Re: BBF Horsepower - Same as Cheating??
Love it!
When we were truck pulling we put a NOS decal on the front weight bar and put some braided lines in the floor board with a bunch of junk overtop where you could just see a couple inches of braided line
Another competitor, with GM power, got protested so they pumped him and it read 447 cubic inches (470 was the size limit) so at the next pull he had "447 CI" on his hood
I get some of those comments on occasion "He must be spraying" because I'm nearly all steel with roll up windows, full interior etc...
