however if i take a hit ill take it like a man, i wont slink past the scales like a cheater.

captain jack .

I will give you that Captain. I know it isn't the first time someone magically came up light at a scale in D 3 to avoid a hit. Maybe d3TV should put a scale cam online .

Capt. Jack,
If you knew the man, you would agree that he's not a cheater. Obviously you don't and you're just complaining because you're not fast enough.
That 302 is a $6,500 dime rocket, right combo at the right time.

It would be different if NHRA didn't give 40 loopholes to 40 ford combinations.
In defense of the Captain. He shows up and runs his junk at Indy time and time again and always qualifies.
If your going to throw darts you need to show up and run him. He's a great competitor.

PS give the captain and me 20 plus free horsepower and we will have a field day with our real U cars.

The root of this whole problem lies with the NHRA's inability to correct or even admit to it's mistakes.

I do know the man, and I tend to agree normally a stand up guy > who intentionally skipped the scales to circumvent the RULES and AHFS.

Billy in this case division 3 (upon D3TV review) did correct a mistake and ASAP !!!

As far as soft combos, if it doesn't have a FS on it, it seems like they all fall in U/SA
if Pat C ever approves a "new" HP for a car in A/B/C stock there would be a revolt like no other but down here in the poor guys classes they DUMP that BS on us every year...

anyway the captain will be at indy in U/SA come get ya some

I only did what a lot times was done in the past, and I am sure it will happen again. I did not run to 1000 ft and dump!!!!!! I payed the price and will take my medicine. Now I am T car it is what it is, by the way I have been to the barn four times.

Great statement. Kudos.
I haven't figured out what is "cheating" about passing the scales. It just seems like savvy racing to me.

Frankie, I DO know the man and I ain't buyin' that one.

Mark,
1) I also complained about "soft" combinations when I raced.
2) No disrespect to the Captain, he is a great racer.
3) The man in question is simply not a cheater.
