Re: You got to be kidding?
 

I guess my main objection is that I really don't like being screwed when it comes to spending my money. I have tri-y headers that are all individual pipes. How many of these sob's do I have to have? This is a solution to a non existent problem.

Re: You got to be kidding?
 

James, there are no victims here, only participants and I have yet to read one post where a racer has stated he is going to invest his time and money to produce another solution, get it approved by the NHRA and sell it cheaper than the current solution.

As for Numidia....1. the starter was NOT sucker punched by the track owner or anyone else. 2. MIke Summers is back and will be the starter at Numidia for as long as a DiMino owns it.

Re: You got to be kidding?
 

Doesn't it state "removeable multi piece collectors"? Exactly what is a multi piece collector? Does this mean a collector with some sort of removeable tube? Really the wording has me a bit confused. My header arrangement requires I have a removeable collector as well as to remove my trans. so welding them is not an option.

Ed, you sure bout this, your fellow "classracers" over to the bullet have made MANY posts to the contrary, guess they're all wrong too?

Re: You got to be kidding?
 

99.9% of those that posted on that cesspool are NOT racers no mind my "fellow classracers" and more important, were NOT there!!!!

I was there and I know EXACTLY what happen as well I KNOW this issue is behind all parties concerned.

Getting Back on Point..

Got a huge scare at Cecil County last November when a 9 second Nova blasted by with a Header Pipe, Collector and Muffler blowing off his car just before the finish line.

The advantage was the pieces were moving faster than my car.
It was enough time to dodge them at 104 mph in the traps.
One piece came at me like it had my name on it.
It pitched off to the right at the last second.

Have no problem with S/SS or regular Bracket cars.
But some race their Show Cars which have more power than common sense.
They have not done any testing and not ready for the track.

Fortunately my system is all welded as are most racers.
My 1969 Impala Header Collector were bolted together with a pair of Tabs.

OK, so you're saying you ACTUALLY saw this as it happened with your own eyes, since there were at least a dozen guys that stated they actually witnessed the event they're obviously mistaken and you are correct....as usual. Sorry Dan, just calling the oracle on a statement.

Re: You got to be kidding?
 

what part of the above don't you understand? YES, with my own 2 eyes and and those "at least a dozen guys" that YOU say stated they witnessed this incident well at least 11 of them are lying!!!

Imagine that, you read something on an internet forum and it's not true.:rolleyes:

That was my last comment on this matter that is now closed!!!!

Back to collector tethers and how you and others claim this ain't about money despite the numerous posts here complaining about the cost of the only approved solution currently to the new rule.

Again, too funny!:p

Re: You got to be kidding?
 

When was the last time or has anyone seen a NASCAR, Sprint, Road Racing or any similar race car with collector tethers?

Re: You got to be kidding?
 

Oh speaking and understanding english yeah I got that, you stating everyone else who like you claim they witnessed an event but state they saw something completely different than what you say....well you can see my reluctance to accept ONLY your version. Actually don't know any of the parties involved in it nor do I care, just wanted to be clear on your statements since they seem to be counter to MANY others my apologies for doubting you. Oh and yes it's always about money, the question is a "solution" to what? Let's maybe have a poll...how many on here have had a collector fall off their car? Or had anything else fall off, nut, bolt,wrench,ect. we'll tally the results and make an informed decision as to whether this is in fact "a real need" OK?
