Still don't know about the DQ's. Maybe Irv or Dave Thomas can shed some light on it.

Sorry I haven't taken any pics this weekend, but it has been too cold to be out except when we were running!!

Irvin's pistons didn't have a number on them. They are diamonds and measured right, even had Diamond and NHRA on them but no number.

I think Dave Thomas' exhaust valve was too big, just a little bit I think, like .011. They said the motor had never been apart.

The Diamond pistons have the number underneath. Some of the pistons only had the number under the piston, and nothing on the dome. NHRA is aware of that. A very old issue. This ain't the first goaround on these things. And Dave set the Natl Record and passed in stock.

I'm pulling for the wagon-nothing against the CJ-I just like wagons, especially those Malibu wagons.

Well my brother Jim just pulled out of my drive way in Moline, Illinois headed back to Indy after an all day drive and thrash. Short story - bad motor out, good motor in! If you see Jim sleeping outside Gate 8 in the morning knock on his door and wake him up.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow.

Today is the day a V-10 will spot a four cyl. 7.5 seconds, and it is raining.

Probably a dumb question but, on sheet it has some drivers list with a letter included in their competition number. What that about?
examples: Jeff Taylor 286T, D Breeden 381B

They've run out of three and four digit numbers. Just like license plates.
