Can’t be someone just said he’s a good guy……��

For those of you that don’t know, this car was driven and owned by his uncle, that passed away,and at that time the Intake was legal. In the last year NHRA decided to remove it from the list, Joe did not know.

I assume that was the problem.

The manifold rules have moved around a bit on this combo
and I am not current on it.
Well we just got back from the Class Final in D/SA.
While in the back behind the lanes while preparing for the
final = The two guys who were running this 64 came up to
me and got in my face and asked me, Are you that John Irving
that posted this reply to this thread. I replied in the affirmative.
He then said "Do you want to fight me". I have never met him before.
Most of you guys know I am in my Mid 70's and I am struggling just
to walk around after my last couple surgeries. These gentlemen are 1/2
my age!! I am very surprised at this situation!! (The only conclusion one can draw is. This is the act of A guilty party. Sad to see this type of unprofessional behavior at a race track)

Well if this would have been a 1.15 under run would he have turned himself in???? I bet not, if this was another brand all you mopar racers would be looking for blood, but he’s a good guy, threatens a older stock racer that didn’t even call them what they are. CHEATER

Re: Divisional at Famoso
 

I'm very sure Jim Hale being THE 383 authority can clarify which intake is the best and legal.
John for them to threaten you like that should be investigated by the N.H.R.A. and I also believe the D7 team has some explaining to do regarding their decision to re-classify this car especially after the -1.21 run in Stock Eliminator.
This is outrageous and I for one have never heard of this happening before.

I think he meant 350.

John,
I wish I would have been there with you...I would have applied my own version of James 5:14-15 as regards to laying hands over the sick!

Re: Divisional at Famoso
 

No worries John. Got your back. Our very own eagle eye in division 7 and traveler spotted the infraction before the fuel check was complete. You'll have to guess who.
I had the pleasure of pitting next to Chad and Sherry Langdon. What great folks! I enjoyed hearing Sherry scream with excitement from afar. Chad was driving great. I broke a starter after first round of class and Chad was there to save my butt and I was able to pull off the C/SA class trophy.
The traction was tricky to say the least. During class while helping the champ in D/SA. We ended up putting weight back in. Myself I lowered my launch RPM to 2400. One racer ask if I leave at idle...nearly!
I enjoyed getting to visit friends, to tell old fish stories, have a bunch of laughs and some very close races that sure were a great time.
