I experienced a questionable thing once 1/8 mile race IHRA years ago...
other car was chasing me about .30 at 330' his nose was in my quarter window and would gain about 12-18''and fall back and pull back up12-18'' nose of car didn't drop,front of car stayed at same ride height,this repeatedly happened from 330' to 500-600'. stuck his nose out and backed into me. YES he had about .025 advantage on RT's but it was odd watching their car surge back and forth 12-18'' and front end never drop or raise..

Until we all complain, en masse, to someone who ACTUALLY has the juice and the know how to both trace the issue and DQ those doing it, regardless of who’s behind them (sponsor, family, the right last name, etc), it’ll continue.

Most cars that run an air dam from the factory can take stripe with the nose by hitting the brakes or lifting. Going up against it is a disadvantage and having a car that has it is a disadvantage. When you dont know what takes stripe on your/ opponents car it makes it hard to judge the finish line accurately.

SOOOO i am going to suggest 2 new classes/ elims.
A. Competition Stock and Superstock. first to break the beams.
But if you go more than 1.3 under then you get penalized like Comp.
NOBODY gets a trophy " Walter". Only money or gift card.

B. Vintage Stock/Superstock Run off of records after new records are set.
1970 Rulebook - Carbs only. Records verified by teardown by an elected
team of 3 current racers in ea.Elim. Rotated periodically, and overseen by NHRA tech officials. Trophys that mean something and contingency $$

Damn i just woke up . I must have been Dreaming

So, based on the ruling in Vegas, this is legal, right? I whipped this up in about a half hour here at the shop. I?ll run this by tech at Carolina Dragway at the double D2 National opens this weekend and we?ll all find out for sure.

Can we get an over / under on this passing tech?

I?m betting no because I built it to be as egregious as possible. 3 1/4 inches off the ground and mounted directly to the underside of the bumper. My only goal here is to have them ask me to remove it and set precedent for every other class racer that this is not considered legal.

Mr. Pauley - Your work is OK for only taking half an hour but in my seventies era mind ( and i'm the only one to say it ) it just looks WRONG .Also it seems many other racers are reading the rulebook like they are lawyers trying a case - but like many have said - "Stock ain't what it used to be " .Good luck at the double ! !

I realize you did this to make a sort of sarcastic point but why not go a step further and have it protrude another two feet in front of the car? If you're going for the stripe, might as well do it in a big way?
