CJ OUT at Indy!!

Two CJ's kicked at Indy. Illegal dish in pistons!! Talk about not letting the SS'er race either!! Don't know the whole story, but I'm sure it'll come soon!!

if this is true, and the motors haven't been out of the car...............there sure will be egg on Ford's face

From what I hear, two of Hajek's got kicked and one didn't. Ford people are going nuts! Love it! Allen Patterson got his motor sealed today too, so that will be interesting in and of itself. Anyone there should bring your lawn chairs down to the barn. There's quite a show taking place..and probably tomorrow too!!

There go the trucks for 2010!

How could it be that 2 of Hajek's cars got booted and the other didnt. All three havent ever had the engines out of them since they came from the factory?

so does that mean that "maybe??" the next race that they will have to provide an engine with a head pulled BEFORE they can compete???--- comp 387

I can't imagine how they are different, since they are factory pieces, but the dish size in two of the three engines were not correct to specification. The way I see it, Ford's attention to detail is second to none. i.e. illegal.

Ford will just change the spec's so they will legal at the next race.

I also know that this is one reason why the new Challengers will never compete with the CJ's. You can't compete with a supercharger!!! I don't blame Chrysler a bit for screaming about this one.

OK I don't know why I am posting in a FORD thread but I heard they were not factory (never out of the car) motors.

The name Roush was mentioned.

Of course this is as big a rumor as this whole thread.
