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!!

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!

Paul-
well said-congrats on your class win this weekend. 4 very good cars in C/SA. Also, congrats on going deep rounds in the eliminator yesterday (didn't get the chance to speak with you after you waxed me).

There was great class racing in many classes. Paul Wong has the Cuda flying! Great to see. Mark Kirby was impressive in F Auto. Great job to all class winners.

REPLACEMENT VEHICLES

"The event director has the option of allowing a driver utilize a replacement vehicle, but only under the following conditions:

1. The original vehicle is withdrawn from competition and cannot be reinstated.

2. Replacement vehicle cannot have been utilized by any other contestant at the same event.

3. Replacement vehicle must be fully certified and must pass technical inspection prior to continuation of competition.

4. Driver must stay within original eliminator category and class entered.

Just words in a rule book written and ignored by the powers that be.

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!
