Apology to Pat Cvengros….

MR DERBY CITY · 05-21-2023, 02:54 PM

I would like to issue a public apology to NHRA employee Pat Cvengros. In a previous post on CR I led Larry Hill to believe that Pat C. was responsible for the HP reduction in 2002 for the 350 Chevy Lt-1 Superstock combination. I definitely spoke out of turn, you see….Pat C. was not employed by NHRA until July 2003. I pride myself on JUST THE FACTS, and I dropped the ball on this one. For any further correspondence on this issue I can be reached at 502-69 three - 1735 ……

Mike I only was only questioning the 1970 350/360 hp In SuperStock with the 35hp reduction, not stock.
From what I’ve seen no car with the combination of 420hp made any runs in 2002 but still received a 15 hp reduction, in fact the 410hp was reduced to 395at the same time. Something rotten in Denmark.

Larry where did you find the time to figure this out?
You must have called Marty Mcfly and went back in time
Enhancements happen all the time
Like them aluminum heads

James it’s in the classification guide when the Hp got changed. My gripe is the AHFS was in affect then and NHRA did not go by there own rules. Latter I got killed in the finals of Indy by a “Gifted” combo. You know James, it’s difficult to cut a good light grabbing your ankles.

I’m a student of the game. As Uncle always said “It doesn’t cost anything to pay attention”
