None of them are close to the bros on the track so they have to use the internet. Better start working on your stuff. Are we sure the car didn't overheat? Did you guys ever think of that? At least he runs his to 1320 instead of the EAST COAST 1000'.

With regards to scales not being consistent , I can say that many racers, including myself, were seeing numbers fluctuating as many as 20 lbs from one run to the next .

I think you have those runs mixed up..the -1.39 run are listed in round one qualifying! Maybe they did not expect to run faster later that day than the "morning run" and left the "tuneup" alone!

It's real hard to get an accurate weight on anything when the wind is blowing. Steve was having a tough time getting the scale to settle down so I doubt any of the weights could be considered right on. My car weighed 3505 after the first pass and 3475 after the second pass (on a 3470 minimum) and it uses less than 1/2 gal per pass and I didn't change anything.

Re: Sorenson 1.408 under at Boise
 

If what was reported is correct what bearing does fluctuating weight on the scales have to do with someone draining water from their car?If the scales were that screwed up because of the wind could they have lined up cars on both side of the scales to block the wind and stabilize the scaled cars?
At Numidia Raceway in PA. their scales (wood) were notorious for wild swings.Rain in the pit was a concern.If there is a scale condition,It's the drivers job to be careful how much ballast to carry in the car.
I usually run my car 25-30 lbs. over minimum.In 10 years the closest I've come to failing weight was 5 lbs.
The fact remains the guy went 1.39 under on run 2.Why push the envelope when no one was even close to him for #1 qualifier.
BTW nice runs in the Pacer.That's one fast fish bowl.

How many of you guys where there? How many of you where at the scales?
WHAT DID HE WEIGHT? I NOW WHAT THE WEIGHT WAS?
I think it is funny you all poping off, and have no facts, A reliable source, Come on know, how about A reliable CRYBABY thats more like it. You all have no facts just suspicions. so quit bashing a couple of guys that work hard on there stuff.

Right.If they're from Division 1 they're cheaters.If they come from out West they're hard workers.
Theres Div. 1-3 rules then there's West coast Gracia/Glendora rules.

I dont have a dog in this fight, although we are building a C/SA Mopar. But I had my 3rd grader read your post and he agreed with me that you need to see his teacher for a few weeks to clean this up. Have a nice day.
