stock winner not weighed

Wow, if that's true it's total BS.

Neither car was weighed or fuel checked. Mike questioned this, but considered the source of the answer and dropped it.

Well just another nhra doing it their way.

A "let's get outta here" attitude!

Of all the wasted scaling and fue l check (every time trial, every car?, how about spot checks?) the ONE TIME it's critical, heads up US NATS FINAL, and waved on..?

I believe they were OK, but come on

I was stunned to see that Plourd not only won this final, but won it somewhat easily. I may have missed it in another thread, but does anyone know what happened to McGinley? Did he spin?

I would like to hear the rest of the story also.I thought he might have spun,but it went 1.46,so that is decent.Car seemed to lay down at the 330.I know that car can run A LOT faster than it did in the final and never thought Brad would win without getting a hole shot.
Something may have broke.

Does not seem possible. What were they thinking?

That same black Firebird went 11.08 at Indy last year, granted the weather was better. And that 112 mph was off its usual 114+ pace. After seeing the drain pan in the "Live" post I wonder if that could have been a factor in the car laying down and drop in MPH? How much oil was left in the motor?

I do believe there was someone tossed (can't remember who) for being light in D-1 a couple of races ago....so it can be possible!

With out Scales or fuel check?, should have put shoe polish on the windows, useless exercise. If you are going to weigh and scale during qualifying, you should damn well do it during a heads up final.
