Sorry it isn't going to make the "Nancy drew mystery" drama that a few were hoping for.

Thanks for the kudos from the great racers out there.

Thanks for the explanation but would you mind telling us why he was dropped off the sheet and then put back. Just curious as to why that happened.

[Jeff Lane]

He was dropped off the sheet because the scale report wasn't sent to the tower correctly and they (NHRA) thought we bypassed the scales which was later proven that we did not.

Just everyone spinning out of control....

Well I did not go down to the end of the track Jody, and my 88 year old father brought him the ET slip like he does every run.

Come on over and pick on Grump if you need to....

A question? When you go across the scales and they tell you your weight do they record that weight? If so that should tell how heavy a car is on the first qualifying run to the last run. Who's in charge of that paperwork?

If this was a comp car it would make sense for a crew member to pick up and deliver time slip. This is stock eliminator, Nobody does that. There’s no need for crew members to be with the car before it gets to the scales unless the car is broke and everyone is in agreement that the car was able to drive to the scales.

Sorenson was 2 cars in front of us when we ran and was doing his fuel check when we were sitting on the scales.

All of your theories are just ridiculous...

The problem when you compound lies with more lies is you are start to lose track of the truth. You say you didn't go to the end of the track, but you happened to be at the scale when Cody weighed...

With all the stuff that's went down at Woodburn alone within the last year with you two this is a super bad look no matter how you want to spin it. Thing is Jeff people were watching. A -1.20 run will have that effect. Several on the starting line saw you take off down the return road.

These are not theories as you say but fact.

Austin, what Jeff says on here is totally different than what Cody told me on Saturday after it happened. There's a ton of history here with shady stuff and most guys I've talked to have had enough of the blatant disregard for the rules and lack of respect for other racers.

Sent to the tower incorrectly? Never heard of that in 50+ years. Perhaps because he went to the scales so late and after the next category was run as Mr Jody pointed out. Too fishy = CHEATERS brand for life.

Jeff cut the bull****.

I was at the finish line watching friends race. You and your Dad came back from the end of the track on scooters no earlier than after half of Super Street ran. Cody was behind you guys. I’m guessing 10 minutes had passed.

Go ahead, keep trying to bull**** the racers that weren’t there. There’s absolutely no excuse to take that long to weigh after a run unless you’re broke. Cody drove it on the scale...

Was he the last car down the track in the session?
