Re: Bogacki DQ
Luke is a stand up guy. Racing is his bread and butter. He would not knowingly jeopardize his racing. Ditto Chip!

Re: Bogacki DQ
This is NHRA class racing, you should know what combo your running!! If you don't, then you are knowingly breaking the rules!!

Re: Bogacki DQ
Jim went to a national event a few years back and asked a well know offical about putting the car in a class. He got out his rulebook and and said yes you can run it. Go to a divisional race at a different division and is told by a different official that he cant run that class. One of the officials was wrong. Who pays the price, the racer.

Re: Bogacki DQ
John from Tightwad,
Luke doesnt own this car or work for Huntsville Engine and they did not build the engine in it, which Im sure is legal. Luke just made a mistake with the stroke of a pen, accepts it and has moved on to the next pay window, probably today if I had to guess. Hope this clears up your HMMMM . Hugh |

Re: Bogacki DQ
Correct. The car is Bryan Robinson's. Ex-NHRA SG World Champ and the guy I work with often daily when dealing with BTE. He and Luke are good friends and thus he drives the car for him.

Re: Bogacki DQ
....I am Old School.....Stock was about details...if you run it you better know what the hell you have for a car and engine. If Luke wins a million dollars bracket racing it doesn't mean squat. Stock is about people who want to deal with these details..I have run it and been bitten by my own stupidity a time or two. I took it and didn't ask for anyone to forgive my stupidity,,,,,,Defending a guy because he wins a lot in bracket racing makes no sense to me. If the guy runs the category it's really not to hard to look in the class guide. Using the term Blowhard is pretty rediculous in this case....The man made a mistake and paid the price for his apparent lack of knowledge about the car he was driving. I have zero sympathy for his misfortune....Maybe he should spend more time learning about the car and category he is running so he is not making a mistake when it comes to filling out his tech card.....Blaming the NHRA Tech guys for this also makes no sense to me. You are responsible for the info on the card....If you have it wrong it could come back to bite you and it apparently did.....
