Charlie Lover,

I assume you are referring to when Pancake was tossed at the Columbus Shootout?

Ask Travis and Pancake (in private) how that turned out. NHRA's equipment was faulty and Travis proved it when Pancake had it re-checked at his next race. First they used the same equipment and it measured the same as the Columbus race, then they used different equipment and he was legal. You tell me who is to blame here. Besides, you really think I would cheat by adding 2 cc's to the piston?

Charlie still hasn't answered my simple 2 questions. Was his flange missing at Indy or not? AAAANNND, was he running the external modifications on the heads? If either of these are yes, then he was cheating, plain and simple. And he openly admitted he has been running the same stuff for years. So you tell me who the cheater is.

And yes, I am whining because it is a bunch of BS when certain NHRA officials turn their head and pretend there is nothing wrong because it says JESEL on the side of the car. It certainly isn't because of CW's great personality.

Wendell, the rule would have thrown out 95% of the class because it says you can't cut into ANY part of the valve cover bolt hole.

Billy, please call the shop.
