Congrats to Jeff Interlicchia
 

I don't know this guy, but I read the comments he and others made after Vegas. So apparently his "illegal" throttle body was not the key to his performance at Vegas-he is number 2 after Q1 in stock!

Congrats indeed Jeff....perfect response to the doubters. Like any worthwhile endeavor, perserverence is the key ingredient.

I do know this guy and I'm real happy for him. He works hard on his combo.

Nice job Jeff!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Congrats to Jeff Interlicchia
 

Both Jeff and Charlie Bob handled their tech problems like gentlemen. This is the way it should be done, congrats to both. Jim

Nice runs Jeff! Nice to see you getting this performance out of this combo. I'll look for your record soon. Another mustang should do it. Good Luck.

BTW- I'm curious what issues you ran into tech; might give me a heads up with mine. I went through tear down no problem here no concerns.

Thanks!

Looks like he put those rumors to bed!:)

Re: Congrats to Jeff Interlicchia
 

I also would be interested to hear what the core of the problem was.


BTW:
Congrats to Jeff on an impressive 1.083 under run !!

Re: Congrats to Jeff Interlicchia
 

Jeff,

what was the outcome of the tech deal ?

As i understood it you had an unaltered part that had an accepted casting number on it , but was larger than the size in the tech guide.

Did you put a smaller one on or did they accept the one you had and adjust the size spec for that casting number ?

Thanks

Wow thanks everybody! So far the support is overwhelming, and I greatly appreciate it. Only two people have called me a cheater on Class Racer, and they don't even know me or understand the situation. I provided documentation to Bruce and Pat to look over at tech Wednesday night. It was provided by my new hero Jesse Kershaw, and it looks to be the only thing that will hold water. They said I would have an answer in a few days after they confirm it all with Jesse. So far looking good, and now it's just a waiting game.
It was funny when I went to the scales after the first run, Bruce was doing the scale and I told him "Hey Bruce I just went 1.08 under in bracket mode, which is .02 slower than the record run on kill. I don't think it's the throttle body." He just hung his head and laughed.
Again thanks everybody for helping me get through this, and all the advice provided by the NHRA family of friends. I will let you all know the outcome as soon as I do.
