can anybody let me know why my friend Vic Hobbs is a DQ at Topeka, Whats up ?

I'd like to know also. I was suprised to see him on the sheet. He must be taking a racing vacation.

Not there - talked to no one - just a guess - CARB! Why? Because here in Division V, they indiscreminately check carbs after time trials at several races during the year. Vic may have failed the carb tech.

Well, I am here...I didn't talk to anyone---but from what I observed in the 'barn' yesterday in both S/SS for tear down was your basic 'Class/Carb/Wheelbase/Electronics look over'

Super Stock doesn't run until after 3pm today, so I'm staying in the A/C of the Topeka Ramada as long as I can. Off to the buffet breakfast now in fact.

Good Luck everyone! Try to stay cool. I've had heat exhaustion before, it's no fun!!! Drink LOTS of water--half your body weight in Oz. water per/day.

Hobbs only made 1 run and was DQ we assumed for fuel. He never made it to the scales for that run. Then he never showed for 1st round of class. We saw his car loaded on his trailer, but never talked to him.

Larry, did he break something? Never weighed or did fuel check.... Hopefully something simple. Your West Coast buddies are rooting for you Vic!!
