I` d like to comment and ask a couple of questions,,,,,,first,,,I`m all for the rules in stock,,,the intergritiy of stock should be keptin tact as much as possible,,,,,,,shoot,,,if I was making the rules, stock would be thrown back to stone age,,,,,,,so if a car is a 76,,then it need 76 trim,seats,,motor

I understand as time goes by, trim packages do have to give some because of parts not being available,,and so on...

what I dont understand is a couple of items,,,,,,,,the past results show Lukes car always claimed a 68 or 69,,,,,,,,the writing of a 70 on a car that he isnt that familiar with is an easy mistake........the item I dont understand is simply this..........who gave him the weight sticker and put it on his car?????......at that point, someone should have caught that a 70 Nova couldnt run AA/SA.......OK,,,maybe not rite then but in Ihra,,,nearly as soon as you hand someone a tech card, someone is going thru the tech guide to check your info.......shouldnt this mistake been caught before the tech card hit the tower????,,,,it was obvious it was caught,,,why did they wait till after all of quailifying was over???? I can tell you first hand there is politics involved in motorsports......was this the case???.......since it was clearly a typo error.....and since it didnt effect hp/ run sheet/ or legality of his car,,why wasnt he allow to just write 69 on it????..Even though Im sure he was trying to avoid a heads up,, the 69 could run the class he desired to be in, so a reasonabe\le thinking person could plainly see there was no "scam" going on.........so why the DQ???? it would be COMPLETLY different if ANY thing changed like position on the ladder/weight/hp rating......but it wouldnt have

He took responsibility and didnt try to blame someone else but those questions above are legit questions......can you just write anything on the tech card and they dont check it....I dont have a dog in the fight ,,but when you roll across the scales, dont they have that info already posted in their book????,,,shoudlnt NHRA notified Luke on his FIRST PASS across the scales ..."sorry,,,there isnt a weight for you 70 AA/SA nova,,,,need to go see tech".....

or was someone just have a "GOD complex" and trying to teach a newbie an expensive lesson instead of trying to be helpfull?????
