Ford 272 C.I. runs low 11's. Why do Mopar guys need 408's?

This in a nutshell is why I hate bracket racing most of the time. A guy can jump in a 17 second minivan and clean house on a whole field of fast, well built cars and all he had to do was cut an ok light and leave it in drive. For me winning that way is like being proud of a getting a trophy for participation.


Or racing for 20 plus years and racing in the “street” class. We have a longtime Mopar racer beating up on beginners and he’s prouder than a Peacock. Guys and girls that are beginners get discouraged and quit.
