He was torn down by NHRA Tech for setting the record. Jeff Teuton protested him and had him to also pull a piston. He passed the tech inspection and now has the record along with 21 horsepower on Tuesday morning. Jeff Teuton, Chrysler and Arrow said to tell Ray Barton " Thanks, You ruined another one".

I applaud Jonathan and Barton if he is part of this effort. It is refreshing to see a new car team make honest passes. Which is more than I can say for the new teams that bag all the time. Most of these new cars are 50-70 horsepower soft and get little respect from the racers that have to contend with them. Running them harder would be one way of earning some respect.
