I saw it awhile ago too and I thought to myself, "There's too many Fords and Chevys."

Sounds neat.
Saw this tidbit in the unlimited rule section, and contrary to mainstream thought here at moparts:
"12. Recommendations:
A. A larger steering wheel is recommended. (The intent is to slow steering response at
speed)."
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

The Brick will never get a cage to run in the faster classes. Running these events in the slower classes is kind of boring in my opinion. 120mph down an open two lane to me isn't very exciting.

If I ran one of the open road race events it would have to be in the unlimited class with no mph restrictions. Running with no cage limits the speeds too much and just puts it down to a level that just isn't that exciting for me.
Others have different perspectives on things like this and what is challenging to one, is not to another. I would rather have an event with a much more technical road. Pikes Peak, 341 Challenge, Targa Newfoundland, tarmac and gravel rallies are events that I find much more challenging and enjoyable. Even in a much slower car.

ORR is the bracket racing of the road race world.
Outside of the unlimited classes, it's about consistency. The challenge is in pacing. A good navigator really helps, especially in the hand-timed category.
Not everyone's cup of tea.
Exactly. Splitting hairs over averages in speeds at triple digit numbers can be its own lesson in frustration. Some like that type challenge, others don't.

I had a good time talking with you again 72. The highlight for me was when Divid Grubnic the top fuel NHRA driver hatched Lingenfelters motor !!
Its a great time. If anyone ever thinks about going you should. It says alot when the people racing stay with the town folk in there own homes. Now thats hospitality !!!
So the bartender says to the horse " Gee, Why the long face?"
