"phone a friend"or Tech

[Bryan Worner]

As a fellow SS competitor, I have to just ask; was the firewall altered or covered? Is this legal according to the rules? Along the lines of a “protest” Gary, did you have to do anything besides open your hood? Were any of your runs DQ’d or were you DQ’d from racing in the eliminator?

I consider all parties involved here racing friends that I’ve made over the years. Im impartial here because it doesn’t effect me one way or the other because I’ve done nothing to my firewall. I just want to know why having to simply open your hood and allow the tech guys to look at it was such a big deal? Believe me, I get being upset at being the target! But at least you weren’t DQ’d after winning a round that would eventually cost you a division championship!

On the better side of Tech..
We had two D7 tech guys come to our pits at the Salt Lake Divisional race and look over my son's 73 Dart. This was his first race as a Stocker. One guy climbed into the passenger side and spent a good 5 minutes looking at the interior. Then they spent another 10 minutes looking under and around the car. Our concern was were we being protested? As one director was talking to my son the other gentleman came over to me and quietly said that my son car was being considered as being voted as D7 Best Engineered at the race. They came back twice and it was between us another D5 Mopar.
Good things do come from Tech.. we won the award and it was an honor to receive the trophy since we built the majority of the car.

As its all out there in the open now like a itty bitty bikini

might I suggest a grudge fest of sorts at the Napierville Open.....

maybe a best 2 out of 3 wheelstand competition......Distance height, etc

I know the Brunet family and the scantily clad fans at the starting line and along the barriers would approve

Best I can think of at the moment!

Here is my 2 cents, be a man and do it the correct way. Don't sneak behind a phone call and no one will know it's you. My 2 cents.
