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.

[Carguy49]

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.

LODRS event Denver Saturday June 15th Tony Hernandez Sets

D/S record @ 11.008 -1.212 Under the 12.22 index and tears down
for new record. ( since he is advised he will be getting torn down decides might as well make

it a record.)

[JRyan]

Tony took the record though so he would have had to tear down for that.

Not referring to record runs, we all know what happens there. I'd like to know what random teardowns have happened in the last couple of years for going 1.20 plus under. I know my combo got 2 fists full of hp a couple years back and they never even checked casting numbers. Just a small amount of effort from NHRA before you effect a truckload of cars nationwide would be greatly appreciated but let's not hijack this thread discussing those logistics.

Mike Grahm with the 302 Jeff Teuton with his Challenger early this year are two that i can think of. All can be found on class racer archives.

Keep in mind he was torn down for the -1.20 run, just set the record, might as well since he had to teardown anyway. If he did not have to teardown might not have for the record..
