"Live" from US Nationals 2018

Larry Hill · 08-31-2018, 01:26 PM

When we drove by a bit ago, Larry Gilley was leaving and a car that had Rinke on it was pulling in. I didn't get for sure who it was but it was a white Copo!

So Gilley is good for sure!

Welker, Wong and Hale were all putting back together. So I assume all of them are good. Don;t know about any others.

I think all the Mustangs are pulling a rod and piston.

BTW, since when can you show up for teardown with the manifold off and just say "Oh, yeah, this one that is already pulled off is the one that we ran yesterday"??? Things that make you go hummmmm!!

WHO got away with that? They are supposed to be sealed the night before.

Larry, who did that? I thought breaking the seal was an automatic DQ??

If they were protesting each other and it was rod and piston I don't see what the intake would have to do with it. If NHRA was tearing them down I would expect they would be in big trouble.

I'd have thought not touching anything would have been the expected.

Ha ha, you would think!

Remember one time at Indy Jim Dale was not happy with us and would not even let us take the parts off our car... all we could do is loosen the bolts and a tech guy had to take them up to the table. Had a tech man at the front and back of the car the whole time.

Amazing they let us put them back on and reassemble it.

Any results from the barn? Hope everyone passes their little test.
