IHRA HAD BETTER GET THE TIMING SYSTEM FIXED AT PITTSBURGH, OR THERE WON'T BE ANYONE THERE FOR THE SECOND SET OF EVENTS. Last year there was some "hank-panky" going on with the system when they converted from 1/4 to 1/8th mile. We ran five times down the track, and our last run was identical to our second run with totally different atmospheric conditions...accordingly; we ran almost a tenth off our dial, and broke out. We talked to others who had similar results, and to the track officials, who had no explanation except "that's drag racing". They did say that they had installed their "Jr. dragster program" in the timing system and it had trouble adjusting to "real car" times that the fast "doorslammers" were running.
Hey Michael Beard, does that make any sense to you?
