Live from the Las Vegas LODRS

So I guess I could tech into G/SA and put the F/SA weight on my tech card. Then if I don't like where I'm at I can go to tech and tell them I'm light and I get to requalify?

Don't sound right to me.

I agree with you. Something is not right, thats for sure. As long as I don't take a hit on the small valve combination in my truck when I know they run the big valve combination in their truck. If NHRA is gonna give them HP then I think they should at least check which combo those guys are running. The big valve combo does not fit in N/SA. The big valve combo lets you run K,L and M, the small valve lets you run M, N and O. Thats for a 1981 which is what is showing on the qualifying list on DRC.

Sure makes a difference not having a 20 MPH cross tailwind pushing you. I slowed down .08. When I got my time slip I thought there was something wrong until I remembered it was super windy yesterday.

I checked the schedule while I was up there and the only classes that have first round today are TD, TS and SG. We will get two time runs today.

I just saw a schedule from RFC that says Stock has first round tonight. It doesn't say that on the schedule that's on the tech trailer though. I guess we will know for sure later.

According to DRC that truck is still in N/SA and its now an 86. I thought we had to run all the proper body parts for the year claimed. I was told by an NHRA tech person that I CANNOT run my truck as an 86 without the proper grill. There are significant advantages to being an 86 truck.

I heard he broke a heim joint on the ladder bar which caused the body rest on the slick. They had to use a floor jack to get him off the track. You can see most of his run on the video I posted.
