Default wrong spec submitted by MOPAR

The reason for Dave Thomas's DQ this weekend

MOPAR engineering measures the valves differently than NHRA

A new TI sheet is being submitted

He passed tech to set the stock record and we passed tech at Fontana

I don't know - seems to me - you grab a set of veneers and measure it - some things seem simple

Dave told me he has a blue print from MOPAR on how it is measured - sorry us old school guys are just not up to date


Too bad for Dave - no record - loss of travel costs - loss of entry fee - not to mention him being besmirched
(beĀ·smirch: 1.Damage the reputation of (someone or something) in the opinion of others)

Watch out new COPOs it has happend to the other two brands
