But the other issue was another racer that ran 1.20 under and passed the scales and did not get torn down.

Then a plethora of reasons/excuses as to why that never happened.

The Corvette dude did the right thing.
Passed tech and was awarded 10 hp.
1.20 is an awesome feat for that car/engine combination.

Dan, was the other car from Div.3? Just trying to keep things straight.

I don't think he is referring to the competitor from division 3, that was a different set of circumstances that didn't include him going 1.20 under.

I wasn't there, but I believe Cody was the only racer to go 1.20 under at Woodburn. I could be wrong, but just trying to keep the facts straight.

I know I have not raced for years, but I try and keep up with with what going on with no dog in this fight. But what sucks in this deal is that it did not come apart. Other racers that have made the same -1.20 hit earlier in the year came apart that day, then had to put it back together so they could race the next day, this did not happen and this car went to the finals. They may have to show up at the next race apart, but it is not fair to the racers that did it right. Tom

I believe Lane was the only one to go 1.20 under at Woodburn.Sorenson was #1 qualifier at 1.11 under. gsa612

Who and where? Outside of Indy I haven't heard of any teardowns for the magic number.
