Thanks Nick, I couldn't have set it better myself.


On another note as this is a live from thread and not lets bash NHRA every chance we get. Gary Summers is out as his head was incorrect for his combo. So that is two cars out Summers and Brannon.

Ken are you able to elaborate on the incorrect head? only legal head in 77' is the D7OE-DA was the -DA not what he was running or was it not the D7OE at all?? curious as we have another year Ford head that we believe is also being run or has been with the -XX not matching but the XXXX- matches...

Also, I think NHRA should think about doing teardown in this manner.. Since we know they don't have the man power to do everyone..






Option A: Pull 2 cars from each 10 car group in qualifying until the top 70 and then 1 car after that for each group of 10...
1-10-- 2 cars
11-20--2
21-30--2
31-40--2
41-50--2
51-60--2
61-70--2
71-80--1
81-90--1
91-100--1
101-110--1
111-120--1
122-128--1
20 cars total...


Option B: If they only plan to do 12 like this year.. put until you have deemed 12 legal.. so in this years case at least 2 more guys would get pulled. If any of the other 10 we haven't heard yet get tossed you'd pull more.. So for this year say 10 pass and Summer and Brannon get tossed pull 2 more if one or both are tossed pull one or 2 more until you've verified 12 legal tear downs.. if the first 12 had all been legal you're done...


Any thoughts on these in terms of making the teardown better?

The rains are back, we were about halfway through Super Stock when it started to rain again. Looks like this will be a long one.

Aw Man,Gary got tossed? That stinks, I hate to see somebody do so good then loose it.I guarantee he’ll be right back with it corrected and just as fast👍
