I get even some of the non qualified cars could be cheating, but most of us aren't concerned with the guy the can't get in currently... we want to see the guys that are absolutely killing it prove they are in fact legal..


Also, what came of this "Cylinder head scanner"? seemed to be a lot of theories as to what its purpose would be and haven't heard anything about it even being on site.

I don't really agree with that, just because you aren't the fastest car in a said combo, it doesn't mean you haven't "bent" the rules to get where you are at

I have heard people in conversation say " I could run dome pistons and they wouldn't check me because I'm so slow" I feel teardown across the qualifying sheet from the top to the.bottom keeps everyone honest.

Everyone knows how much it costs to build a competetive class car. It would be much cheaper to build a car if you didn't follow the rules. It keeps everyone honest. Nascar pulls cars that finish out of the top 20 to go to the R&D center for the same reason.

I wonder how they determine who gets torn down. Do they draw numbers out of a hat? I agree that the tear downs should be coming from the top of the order. Just make sense to look at the faster class winners and top qualifiers.

Surely nobody would do something untoward just to sneak into the eliminator under the radar...

Anyone from 1 to 128 could shut someone else out with an illegal Car.
Your spot on the sheet do not matter.

Randi Lynn Shipp was just apart about three years ago if my old brain serves me right. They need to pick on others who have never been apart.

The second string is in the barn, but I did not get a chance to get all the names. The number 1 qualifier is in the barn. This has not been confirmed by tech, but Bobby Brannon was bounced, they did not like the marks in the top of the pistons. The valves hit the top of the pistons, very light marks, but they said no go. All other components checked out okay.

I'l back later with more updates on tear down.

Corey Hopkins
Marcus Widuch
Mike Moller
Bruce Gibson

Seaburg, Carson and Randi Lyn were still around from this morning's session.

Now that they bounced Brannon one would only assume Jason Line would get an invite to be checked as well? Seems to me if The winner got bounced in your class you couldn't just inherit the win without also being checked.. but again they're only checking 12 guys so why would it matter I guess..

That's why they make the rules and we have to live by them. What you think makes no difference to them.
