On the flip side of that , when you're that fast guy that gets picked and passes tear down , what a great feeling it has to be to know all the naysayers are saying "well I'll be damned"

I would have to agree.. Unless there are 10 of the exact same combo and one happens to be .3 faster than the rest and still ends up #126 I don't see any purpose to that man being torn down with so many others deserving it more.. I get even some of the non qualified cars could be cheating, but most of us aren't concerned with the guy the can't get in currently... we want to see the guys that are absolutely killing it prove they are in fact legal..


Also, what came of this "Cylinder head scanner"? seemed to be a lot of theories as to what its purpose would be and haven't heard anything about it even being on site.
