it certainly may be true that Olthoff in a BB could slap around a pile of SB racers on the track. There is one problem with this theory though. Olthoff can choose ANY engine he wants to race in his SPF and he continues to choose a stroked small block 351w.

The car he runs is a 408 stroker SPF#308 with trickflow R heads

and this same car took the fastest time at this years Run N Gun

I see he won big block category but I believe this is based on cubic inches and not block? Also, at the top of the page there is some info on Bob Olthoff's record from last year's event. Again, Bob O. can pick any engine he wants to race with. Bob Olthoff took Top Dog in the Pro Big Block class...again, a nice little 408 stroker with a measly 550HP

I think a wise man one wrote

BIG BLOCK = waxer
SMALL BLOCK = racer

hee hee haaaa.... just jokes
