I know rules are rules but maybe the tech guy just "isn't that good a machinist" Fed 387

Since the rulebook allows +/- .015 on stroke, that would make it .018 over the spec. Maybe the crankshaft grinder "isn't that good a machinist"

Exactly what is the procedure to measure stroke?

That's a mistake, Jimmy went red -.001.

Hey everyone, I have lots more photos, but I know we have been overloaded with media here. Please let me know if you want to see more, I have a few more videos and many more photos. I thank everyone who contributed to the live from thread and many thanks for Class Racer members kind words.

I will be spending the next hour or so editing, and will check back later to see if you still want more. I will also be here tomorrow.

Well, if I can make two members happy, that's good enough for me.

The next few sets of photos are looking at just the drivers. Being a driver I'm always wonder what's going on through other drivers minds while they are ready to make a run, especially in competition. For me its a little nervousness and trying to stay focused. I like being a little nervous, because when that stops I think the fun will stop also.
