99.9% of those that posted on that cesspool are NOT racers no mind my "fellow classracers" and more important, were NOT there!!!!

I was there and I know EXACTLY what happen as well I KNOW this issue is behind all parties concerned.

Getting Back on Point..

Got a huge scare at Cecil County last November when a 9 second Nova blasted by with a Header Pipe, Collector and Muffler blowing off his car just before the finish line.

The advantage was the pieces were moving faster than my car.
It was enough time to dodge them at 104 mph in the traps.
One piece came at me like it had my name on it.
It pitched off to the right at the last second.

Have no problem with S/SS or regular Bracket cars.
But some race their Show Cars which have more power than common sense.
They have not done any testing and not ready for the track.

Fortunately my system is all welded as are most racers.
My 1969 Impala Header Collector were bolted together with a pair of Tabs.

OK, so you're saying you ACTUALLY saw this as it happened with your own eyes, since there were at least a dozen guys that stated they actually witnessed the event they're obviously mistaken and you are correct....as usual. Sorry Dan, just calling the oracle on a statement.

what part of the above don't you understand? YES, with my own 2 eyes and and those "at least a dozen guys" that YOU say stated they witnessed this incident well at least 11 of them are lying!!!

Imagine that, you read something on an internet forum and it's not true.

That was my last comment on this matter that is now closed!!!!

Back to collector tethers and how you and others claim this ain't about money despite the numerous posts here complaining about the cost of the only approved solution currently to the new rule.

Again, too funny!

[SSDiv6]

When was the last time or has anyone seen a NASCAR, Sprint, Road Racing or any similar race car with collector tethers?

[buzzinhalfdozen]

Oh speaking and understanding english yeah I got that, you stating everyone else who like you claim they witnessed an event but state they saw something completely different than what you say....well you can see my reluctance to accept ONLY your version. Actually don't know any of the parties involved in it nor do I care, just wanted to be clear on your statements since they seem to be counter to MANY others my apologies for doubting you. Oh and yes it's always about money, the question is a "solution" to what? Let's maybe have a poll...how many on here have had a collector fall off their car? Or had anything else fall off, nut, bolt,wrench,ect. we'll tally the results and make an informed decision as to whether this is in fact "a real need" OK?

[1320racer]

don't care who or what you believe, the matter is closed and of no concern or business of yours and 99.9% of those that have posted on that cesspool.

Oh and as to the collector tethers, if required, I'll be buying a pair, $200 is a drop in the bucket for me no mind the vast majority of class racers given what we have spent on our racing operation.

[Bobby Lundholm]

I have never heard of or seen any Stock or Super Stock losing a collector. Does this happen often and I don't see it?

[div4rules]

I would have to say that about 95% of the ones I have seen come off have been on super class cars (about 4 total in 43years racing) jmo

As stated, don't know them nor do I care, your statement to the contrary of many others was the topic, as your views seem to skew from the majority. Not that the majority is always right but it's doubtful they're always wrong.
