I’ve been in the tear down barn numerous times thru the many years I’ve raced. If you are scared of the barn, don’t bring your car to the track & race it! I build my motors legal & im not scared to tear down. I have probably been torn down more times than all of you put together.

Gary this was not specifically targeted at you. I have also been torn down many many times and never been tossed. I was told at Pomona that they were going to start tearing down more cars this year,starting with 1.20 under runs. I would like to see this. I was hoping that this wasn't a 1 race deal.

Yea please don’t think that Gary ... I was there when they tore mike down in Pomona word was new policy for 2019 ... I’m sure you’d been legit just wondering if it was new policy or mikes luck sucks 😏👍👍

NHRA class racers will get away with what the boobs in the tech dept. will let them. If they factored cars correctly there wouldn't be so many runaway combos. My gremlin 6 cylinder was never factored more than 10 HP less than the 160 factory number, that's with a humongous Carter BBD that flowed 237 CFM. No disrespect towards the racers, my problems was with the organization.

I think this is an issue that we should be petitioning our SRAC reps to be pushing hard for from NHRA. When someone hits the 1.20 under mark, it should be mandatory teardown without question. There's not a doubt in my mind that Mr Summers would have passed with flying colors but when this happens it can affect so many people, atleast with a teardown there's no question.

So do you apply the teardown rule to national opens as well?
How many think the 1.20 under trigger should apply to national opens?

Congrats Mr Summers.

I’m still confused was there a tear down ? Only ask because when we got torn down in Pomona Nhra said all automatics hits will get torn down. Hoping nhra enforces that equally. I don’t know Summers personally but from what I’ve been told I know there isn’t any doubt that his combo is legal but what’s good for one should be good for the others when it comes to automatic Hp hits.
