Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Bob, out of NHRA rule book....In a sport where records play such a
vital role, every effort is made to maintain their accuracy and
validity. In order to ensure the validity of all new records, a backup
performance of within 1 percent of the new mark is required at the
same event. In the event that two runs exceed the existing record
but are not within 1 percent of each other, the quicker time or faster
speed will be acceptable as the backup for the slower time, which
will stand as the new record...... Hence the slower time 10.23 is the record, plus factor ( should be 10.04). This one is for "Drooze". Still having fun though.

Jeff did indeed tear down but I haven't heard why he was DQed.

Larry, with all due respect I think u should keep the rumors to urself. No one wants to hear crap that isnt true. Maybe Jeff Inter...could tell us. I'm sure he wouldn't go for a record knowing that he was bogus.

And also, I think we're all sick of hearing about the West coast rules and all that BS about bogus combos. Give it a rest, just race.

no doubt!!!!!!

He did the tear down. 5 hours later they tell him the throttle body measured wrong. Right part, right part number. He was ready for the tear down. He wanted the record.
He isn't cheating.

What's the schedule look like today?

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Floyd is correct, and thanks Brad and others for sticking up for me. I am the farthest thing from a cheater. I would never waste all my time, effort and money to try to put one past NHRA. They list four throttle bodies for my car, but only have one dimension, and that is the stock one. I need to prove to them that my part is unaltered, and they came factory with a different spec then they have listed for all four. I am working on that, and hope by Pomona I can provide the proof. Pat said there is a possibility they will let the record stand if I can do that. It was very frustrating that the part was the first one off the car, and the first one inspected. I was completely back together and at my pits when they came rolling up, and said they need to reinspect something. What a waste of a weekend, but it's like trying to fight with the IRS. You won't win even if you are right.

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

You should have been running the listed size throttle body and not the larger one until you had it approved first. That's why they list dimensions.
