Maybe quick checks of carbs on heads up runs.

Put some paranoia back into class racing!

This works for me!

Billie you are right on it looks like you can do that to any carb but this 50 year old one that nobody makes any parts for but most of the hollers have down leg boosters so why carb is singled out because it’s got shinny boosters what’s fair for one is fair for the other.so I guess the booster deal is pick and choose as to who they going to kick out

I was afraid this was where we were going with this one... I don't like the sound of this one bit..Especially at this late date :-(

So what we’re the disqualifications truly for?
Seen posts about shiny boosters, fuel, throttle body ?

Some interesting commentary on other media and was just wondering?

1 guy sticks to it and gets 22 hp and others go close ta as fast and get zip?
Please keep in mind at that point 5-6 runs had been made at this event.

Just asking?

The Dodge got 22hp.....but it needed it lol. It can still go 130+ under. The rest were under 1.18 or less and the race was a mineshaft race so nothing counts but faster than 1.20 under. The corvette was DQed for throttle body, Gary Summers was DQed for "too shiny" boosters lol

Corvette ran 1.20+ under in the class final...which seems to have prompted the teardown. Summers ran 1.25+ under a couple times throughout the weekend, which also seems to have prompted the teardown.

Since they failed the teardown, there isn't HP added to the combination because it was deemed the cars weren't "legal." The Dodge got torn down as well, and was found legal, so the HP gets added to that combination.

Think about it...if you have that Corvette or Mustang II combination at home in your garage waiting for next race weekend, and the car that got the HP was DQ'ed by tech after a teardown...how is it right to add HP to your combo???

Because there SOFT as peanut butter and NEED HP or reclassification into the right class . These combos are BOGUS. Makes the competition look slow and useless
The hp hit would not ruin themselves. There that SOFT.

I nearly got the boot for front bumper brackets and dash cluster in St. Louis in 2006, got my letter in the mail and inspected for corrections at the next race I went to in Seattle.
