"Live" from our Southwestern Swing

[GTX JOHN]

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!!!
