Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
I know we are late to the game on the posts on Jeff and his P/SA Mustang.
We have been pretty busy at Vegas fixing our stuff and sorting out new cars!
I do not know how many people are aware that Jeff has been only racing
stock for a couple of years. We have a car that can run the same class and
could contend for that record so we have no reason to go easy on him.
That being said....... I would bet the Family Jewels (Such as still remain)
That there absolutely was NO INTENT for Jeff to deliberately cheat. We
Know the man and believe in his character. He is pretty new to stock and
working very hard to compete and made a" Newbie mistake" by not
measuring the throttle body. My boy helped him tear it down and confirmed
that the body was OEM and NOT modified in any way from stock. Of course
it should get him bounced still, but he will get it right next time and learned a
from the experience. Jeff is a smart guy and will learn from his experience
some more about stock eliminator. I am happy that we have at least a few
new racers in stock to enrich the Gene Pool.
We own about 20 Race Thermoquads and I am guilty of not measuring a lot
of them if they visually are unmodified and throttle blades are stock size. The
only time they are measured is in teardown when Bruce or another tech
measures at it.
So it could have been me that got bounced and I should know better as I
have been doing this a darn long time........I will spend some time in the
off season measuring all of mine.
DON'T LET THE CRITICS GET YOU DOWN....YOU ARE REALLY DOING
WELL WITH YOUR CAR!!!
