Elam I race one of the slowest /6 race cars in the field. It a true race car and has a lot of good stuff on it ie gears 4 barrell and headers and a slightely milled head. The engine has 78,000 miles on it and nothing has been done to the bottem end it is stock. The car has made close to 3500 runs on it in 3 yrs when this season is over orhavea enginefailure we will build a race engine.The car only weighs 2375 lbs and will go 9.30 in the 1/8 and 15.38 nthe 1/4. If we have a quick 16 next year it would push me to make the field at Columbus or Clay city next year where there are about 24 cars. So i am not a big fan for a quick 16 field this is bracket racing so i don't think you will see this happen this year. thanks Ron

Ron was also Slant National Champ with this car.

I also race a slow car, and I understand your concerns about qualifying. Clay City used to be a Quick 16, and we were outside twice, and got in when other racers broke and couldn't make the call for the first round. I would hate for anyone else to have to hope for another to have misfortune to get in. When I finally got the car fast enough to qualify, they went to all run.

I am still pulling for segregating the street and race cars until the semi's too! Dennis

My car is a 16 sec car when not on the bottle, Which was most of the time this season. Most of the Slant Six races are over a 10 hr drive for me, so I most likly would not go to a race with a qualified field.

Elam you come to them races and more if you can and and bring a 20.00 second car. If you cannot make the quick 16 you can use my 2000 championship provisionals that Seymore gives to the champion and I did not use them in 2001 Thanks Ron
