Divisional at Famoso

I sure wish Warren was still doing Division races! NHRA TV SUCK's!

MY mistake = The 301 is legal at this time.
The 666 which possibly is a better intake maybe
is the one currently illegal on the 64 383.
I assume that was the problem.

The manifold rules have moved around a bit on this combo
and I am not current on it.

Well we just got back from the Class Final in D/SA.
While in the back behind the lanes while preparing for the
final = The two guys who were running this 64 came up to
me and got in my face and asked me, Are you that John Irving
that posted this reply to this thread. I replied in the affirmative.
He then said "Do you want to fight me". I have never met him before.
Most of you guys know I am in my Mid 70's and I am struggling just
to walk around after my last couple surgeries. These gentlemen are 1/2
my age!! I am very surprised at this situation!!

John I would be happy to speak on your behalf.

It has been awhile since I've won class. If anyone wonders at times why we class race. First the build up on the scales "your good!" Then Pat hands you the trophy, shakes your hand "Nice Job!" Then they called us for photos. As you coast your hotrod to the lanes I heard "nice Job, way to go." I could only wish my wife was there. Besides her support. She also would have told me my face was as dirty as it could get. Great fun!

John,
I wish I would have been there with you...I would have applied my own version of James 5:14-15 as regards to laying hands over the sick!

No worries John. Got your back. Our very own eagle eye in division 7 and traveler spotted the infraction before the fuel check was complete. You'll have to guess who.
I had the pleasure of pitting next to Chad and Sherry Langdon. What great folks! I enjoyed hearing Sherry scream with excitement from afar. Chad was driving great. I broke a starter after first round of class and Chad was there to save my butt and I was able to pull off the C/SA class trophy.
The traction was tricky to say the least. During class while helping the champ in D/SA. We ended up putting weight back in. Myself I lowered my launch RPM to 2400. One racer ask if I leave at idle...nearly!
I enjoyed getting to visit friends, to tell old fish stories, have a bunch of laughs and some very close races that sure were a great time.
