Horsepower on tuesday

[James Perrone]

If there is no video or picture or a human being there ..it didn’t happen
Sorry to inform you folks
Did he change his front bumper to get the horse power off?
That’s me bitching. Now

Something happened, he's on the sheet then he's off and then back on it. Don't add up, someone knows something out there and if they don't stand up and say something that's as bad as doing it yourself.
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to get away with what's been said happened but difference is I wouldn't do it in the first place, I got integrity.....

I was just informed about a post on FB by a racer who was at the scales when all this went down. It makes it pretty clear about what happened. The racer(s) in question are probably monitoring this thread and should post their response to these allegations. They are members.

Here is a couple of questions. Just being the devils advocate here.

1. Is the car actually capable of going -1.20+ under?
2. Was the car properly classified? Sometimes a car will show up on the Q sheet in the wrong class and show it was farther under the index than it really should be. Typically on the first round of Q. Happens a lot here in D2 on the first Q run.

3. Is there a chance that the clock malfunctioned or some blowing debris or trash tripped the beam?

These are a few things that can cause an erroneous ET on any run at any time.
I don't know the car or person that was involved and don't see anything but rumors here.

The car is more than capable as I remember when Mr. Cunningham had the car before the Lanes and it was plenty fast back then.

As far as the class and a chance of the clocks malfunctioning, the class was correct as in eliminations, he was still showing in G/SA. And look at the pics of the two qualifying runs, the car was picking it up all the way down track in comparison to the 10.99 run, which is what ended up on the final Qualifying sheet.

Making an assumption, I would say they manipulate timing in order to slow the car down. Just based on the incrementals and how much more mph the car is running to the 1/8 in the very fast run.

Would be nice to hear both sides of the story.
