Isn't this the B/Modified car? Not much to tear down in that class. Valve layout, CID, weight and fuel check is about it. Modified cars with auto trans may be up to 5 percent or 250 lbs lighter than class (2750) and may be under class minimum,


Remember, these are the guys that built an electric super stocker that actually works. They have talent (and money)..

Dale, this is about their '73 Corvette that is run in G/SA.

Dale Shearon
If your going to post please read the whole thread next time, this has only been going on for almost a week now.

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

But the other issue was another racer that ran 1.20 under and passed the scales and did not get torn down.

Then a plethora of reasons/excuses as to why that never happened.

The Corvette dude did the right thing.
Passed tech and was awarded 10 hp.
1.20 is an awesome feat for that car/engine combination.

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

Thanks. The thread does not mention this on page one.

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

I don't think a Modified car gets a HP penalty. It would be an index change.

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

Neither Lane is at the Sonoma double divisional.

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

Did they check the drivers underwear after that -1.20 run, maybe that's where the weight went.

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

no big deal the worms not there either. lol

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

Dan, was the other car from Div.3? Just trying to keep things straight.

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

I don't think he is referring to the competitor from division 3, that was a different set of circumstances that didn't include him going 1.20 under.

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

I wasn't there, but I believe Cody was the only racer to go 1.20 under at Woodburn. I could be wrong, but just trying to keep the facts straight.

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

I know I have not raced for years, but I try and keep up with with what going on with no dog in this fight. But what sucks in this deal is that it did not come apart. Other racers that have made the same -1.20 hit earlier in the year came apart that day, then had to put it back together so they could race the next day, this did not happen and this car went to the finals. They may have to show up at the next race apart, but it is not fair to the racers that did it right. Tom

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

I believe Lane was the only one to go 1.20 under at Woodburn.Sorenson was #1 qualifier at 1.11 under. gsa612

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

Who and where? Outside of Indy I haven't heard of any teardowns for the magic number.

LODRS event Denver Saturday June 15th Tony Hernandez Sets

D/S record @ 11.008 -1.212 Under the 12.22 index and tears down
for new record. ( since he is advised he will be getting torn down decides might as well make

it a record.)

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

Tony took the record though so he would have had to tear down for that.

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

[QUOTE=farmco r/sa;592872]Not referring to record runs, we all know what happens there. I'd like to know what random teardowns have happened in the last couple of years for going 1.20 plus under. I know my combo got 2 fists full of hp a couple years back and they never even checked casting numbers. Just a small amount of effort from NHRA before you effect a truckload of cars nationwide would be greatly appreciated but let's not hijack this thread discussing those logistics.

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

Mike Grahm with the 302 Jeff Teuton with his Challenger early this year are two that i can think of. All can be found on class racer archives.

[QUOTE=Jon Sarrett;592874]


Keep in mind he was torn down for the -1.20 run, just set the record, might as well since he had to teardown anyway. If he did not have to teardown might not have for the record..

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

It will be interesting too see if NHRA has a look at this car in Seattle after the 1.20 under run and adding 10 hp. They have the manpower. Grant

XXXXXXXXXXXX

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

They are running it in H/SA and still qualified #2 at -1.01 under.

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

According to DRC , they are still in G.....

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

Issue arose as to whether the tech card was properly filled out and I also am told the car in question is in tear down too.

Tech card supposedly had the wrong HP written on it but the weight was right for the “new” HP.

I’m at home, not in Seattle, so maybe someone else out there has more info or more accurate info. *shrug*

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

Was told that Cody may be in tear down in Seattle today as well...

I’m not there so can’t confirm. Maybe someone who is there can chime in.

^^Apparently Jared and myself have impeccable timing.

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

I’m guessing our ex’s would probably disagree. LOL!!

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

When I read it after the run it was in H. Musta changed it.

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

NHRA qualifying results are different from DRC.

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

After Stock qualifying today I saw the 'vett being towed back from the tech area. It had fender covers trapped under both sides of the hood like it had been worked on and the hood just dropped down.

Round 1 of Stock is 9:15 tomorrow morning. We will see.

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

I confirmed with a tech official that they were indeed torn down and although he didn't go into specifics about what was looked at he just said "alot".

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
 

They must have passed. They just lost to Justin Lamb on a double breakout.
11.10 dial 11.061 to 9.59 dial 9.560.
