Knowing their little game - I called to ask for an explanation and all they had for me was authentic western gibberish. Finally after a long debate the guy said look you're getting power. I asked, but what about the other car that you used for a trigger. It had a higher average than mine and you didn't hit the other car. His answer was you're getting power and said good bye. Corrupt little game these fellers play. Then on the other hand the inept dorks in Glendora/Indy will sit on their thumbs and watch a guy sandbag for a year and give him more than 20 horsepower off - while the guy bragged about it to anyone who would listen. The best way to avoid these gophers is to race a unique combination.
I don't disagree, Bruce. But I thin NHRA can read a public forum just like anyone else.
It's their ball and if they decide to go home with it; this forum can only help them make that decision.
