Tear down at Gainsville?

[Mike Graham]

Gary this was not specifically targeted at you. I have also been torn down many many times and never been tossed. I was told at Pomona that they were going to start tearing down more cars this year,starting with 1.20 under runs. I would like to see this. I was hoping that this wasn't a 1 race deal.

Yea please don’t think that Gary ... I was there when they tore mike down in Pomona word was new policy for 2019 ... I’m sure you’d been legit just wondering if it was new policy or mikes luck sucks 😏👍👍

NHRA class racers will get away with what the boobs in the tech dept. will let them. If they factored cars correctly there wouldn't be so many runaway combos. My gremlin 6 cylinder was never factored more than 10 HP less than the 160 factory number, that's with a humongous Carter BBD that flowed 237 CFM. No disrespect towards the racers, my problems was with the organization.

I think this is an issue that we should be petitioning our SRAC reps to be pushing hard for from NHRA. When someone hits the 1.20 under mark, it should be mandatory teardown without question. There's not a doubt in my mind that Mr Summers would have passed with flying colors but when this happens it can affect so many people, atleast with a teardown there's no question.

James I don't think nobody is questioning the car buddy it's the fact that when some go 1.20 under they get tore down then sometimes they don't. Congratulations on your class win and good luck down there. Don't forget to use sunblock I don't want your fair skin to burn!

So do you apply the teardown rule to national opens as well?
How many think the 1.20 under trigger should apply to national opens?

As someone already stated I wouldn't say it waa necessary at Opens unless setting a record. I just think if someone causes a combination to get home it should be verified.
