From what I hearJohn Calvert did teardown. Might not of been until Sunday. Paul Wong was not torn but is the only one that runs his combo so he has only affected himself with the added power and no one else. Could be the reason he was not torn.

Why should that be a factor? My understanding is that anyone that runs 1.20 or more under will be automatically torn down.

Your understanding is incorrect. It has been arbitrary all year long. It is not automatic......As for Paul Wong, he has been torn down many times in his racing career, ......

Paul has been torn down several times in that car and has always passed.

I do not like this approach either. Just because someone has passed previously should not matter. Bobby Brannon was torn down at Indy (piston modification discrepancy) and then showed up at Dallas apart (2 Weeks ago!) and was verified there before he was allowed to race.

If they are operating under the "torn down many times" conditions, I would think a guy that was just torn down 2 weeks ago would fall under that. Yet, Bobby was torn down in Vegas again.

I am not saying Paul wouldnt pass tear down, but if we are going to start tearing down 1.20+ under runs, then they should get ALL of them.

Re: "Live" from Las Vegas 2019
 
I was fully prepared for the tear down. I even had help come out so I could get it done quickly. There was no mention of bringing the car up, so I figured I was getting the power and that was that. I have done many late notice tear downs some in the dark even. Even one at Indy when they were calling for me and a couple other racers. I was the only one to show up on for Friday afternoon when the other racers left the property.

My post was nothing negative about you. You have a good reputation in our community. My point is still that everyone should be torn down that gets a "Tuesday adjustment" on any combination.

I think that I was probably the first to do this in recent times. I know how that all came about and still feel that it was a good call on the NHRA's part.

As for Vegas, the car that I was most interested in was torn down and passed.....

Mr. Gump, obviously you have a selective MEMORY. A certain Mustang Il went 1 20 under at the gators and didn’t tear down .....You can’t blame the racer if they are not invited to the party. Paul Wong was ready for the party, but there was no invite .....BTW, I liked you in the movie.....

No. I believe you have a reading comprehension issue. I have made it very clear that I was told by the NHRA that everyone that goes that fast gets torn down. That was when I tore my 350 COPO down at Rockingham in 2017. That particular teardown was between rounds!

Jack McCarthy 11-05-2019 06:45 PM
Re: "Live" from Las Vegas 2019
 
Paul was not asked to tear down
We were ready to tear down
He only kicked himself in the nuts

Move on there is no story here 😎

Mr, Gump, are you that dense, or just plain GULLIBLE ??? I don’t care what NHRA told you, the fact of the matter is that all cars that go 1 20 under do NOT tear down. Let me make this CRYSTAL clear. Paul Wong was not the FIRST 1 20 under car that didn’t tear down this year...Now go find your source at NHRA and ask him about that ......BTW, is this the same NHRA that told us there was a break in at WAYNE COUNTY many, many years ago ?????

Re: "Live" from Las Vegas 2019
 
A couple of years ago, there was a -1.20 run that resulted in horsepower for a very popular SBC combo. The car that hit the number, was not torn down, and who knows if it was legal, but a few people were forced to change classes. You could say, that's the way it goes, but they deserved confirmation.

Sounds like a 69 camaro 350/300, lost the round and was not asked to tear down. No fault of the driver, but some consistency from NHRA would be nice.

Let's hope that consistency becomes the new normal from the NHRA Tech Dept. Somehow I believe it will in 2020.

Probably just dense!

FYI. I was being sarcastic. I know they have not been tearing people down. I helped a Cobra Jet get HP earlier this year. They didn't tear that guy down either......

My whole point is that I think they should be.

Anyway, I'm going back in my corner to eat some glue and watch cartoons. 😎

Gorilla Glue taste better than the Bordens white glue. Just trying to help.

Jeff I find the Gorilla Glue way to filling, it really makes me feel bloated after just a few sips. I prefer the new Members Mark White Lite Glue, it satisfies the craving without feeling full.

It was a Corvette at a D2 race, if I recall. I don`t want to point a finger at anyone, just that it affected others and it may or may not have been justified.
