Re: Cleverly hillbillys
With 320 lbs in the driver's seat do you think it might upset the delicate balance of the vehicle? Do we get a practice lap or two?

Re: Cleverly hillbillys
I found the rules and had a good laugh with the wording by the officials. Here is a section on the rules about cheating.
: BS Factor: To prevent cheating, all cars will be inspected by a panel appointed by the Organizers. At that time, all teams will be given an opportunity to describe the car’s purchase and prep. If the panel believes the limit set out in Rule 4.1 has been exceeded, it will assign a Bull**** Factor (BSF) equal to one BSF per $10 above the limit. The entry will be docked one lap for each BSF assigned. (Ten dollars = one BSF = one lap.) Entrants are very, very, exceedingly strongly encouraged to bring pre-raceprep photographs, verifiable receipts, notarized testimonials, plus any and all other supporting evidence to Tech/BS Inspection. Or at least make up plausible-sounding stories in advance. Maybe this instead of AHFS. |

Re: Cleverly hillbillys
Brilliant idea on that NHRA factor stuff, but I aint in that hunt. As for the Lemons BS Judge, of course they are in my pocket. I was told once at a Board of Directors meeting I had a PHD in BS!!! You drive I will handle the rest. Jed
PS Jane just spotted the hidden Porschero, in time out.... |
