Yeah on Sat it had a miss, then 2 , rotated injectors and the miss moved. I didnt take any spare injectors (the know goods were in the engine) after both engine failures we pulled em.....today....its running perfect all EGT's are in line ? Also could have been some serious wetage I had it outside when a downpour came and she got real wet under the hood....the wiring is all Delphi Weatherpack connectors but ? A lot of water.....

Nah 3 strikes is nothing, Im like the stupid kid who will still stand at the plate in little leauge and the parents and pitchers feel so bad hes abviously dim they keep pitching to him anyway

Mandies got a mind of her own....if thats what she wants to put on the shirt I sure thats what shes going to do....lol....never met anyone quite like her before or someone so much like myself in so many ways it pretty scarry...........I told my dad "Shell fit right in" and he was skeptical as hell , for about 5 minutes....and his response was "Yeah youre not right either, you DO fit right in"

None....I think they just listed it that way we "bowed" out....I didnt like some things on the car and we pulled. They must have just listed it as a DQ ? Im a little irritated now....at myself we shoulda made 1 run and then would have been at the postponment....oh well live and learn. Sheda made another run under index but well...I guess if I could see the future...lol

Oh well....nope, never even made a qual pass....2 diffrerent issue and well we did something RARE.....erred on the side of caution....if the race hadnt of gotten postponed we could have hurt it and it didnt make sense. Had we been halfway through a ladder or across the country, but 4 1/2 hrs from home ? And not run a qual pass yet....no biggie....Norwalk and then another Nat, well get time to wring her out good.

Las Vegas I was going to regardless, had I know we werent going to make it I would have of course just dropped the car at indy and ran bobtail....but there was a "chance" and it was a calculated gamble. We lost....oh well....Indy we just mucked our hand so to speak.

The trip was best summed up with the Jimmy Buffet song "He Went to Paris" (replace Paris with Vegas) and it goes something like this.

"Some of it Magic some of it Tragic but I've (weve) had a Good life (trip) all the way"

Chris, Did you officially withdraw from the race... Thought that if you wnt thru tech, and earned the official entry point, you would be entered on the bottom of the list on the ladder..as it was originally shown on the Drag Race Central site. I would have thought that even had you withdrawn, and you have officially gone thru tech...and if entries are offically closed...you should be able to run the eliminator bracket at the bottom of the list. Even if make injector chances etc. Especially if as was stated, that entered will get a time trail and a random pairing for first round?

[JeremyDuncan]

If you teched in this weekend you are elgible to race at the make up date. The field will be all run and random paired for 1st round of eliminations in stock. Being dq on the qualifying sheet will have no baring being able to race at the make up date.

i have had occassion to not run a race after a qualifying run; and nhra did not show me as "dq" when i didnt show up for the eliminator!!!! whaz up?????????????

I dono....NHRA Tech came around and asked if we were running or not (they were looking for "stragglers") we (The old man was the one entered) David Wertman and we had just decided.....

Maybe because we didnt run the qualifying run ?

Got me, we teched good and never weighed or fuel checked so....there was no DQ as it were....

Ill call em on Monday and see if we can run at the makeup , thatd be way cool.
