Mike if no fuel check was preformed during Q2 how did his fuel fail? Most of the time if a car missed Q1 session and Q2 is their first time down the track a fuel check will be preformed on those few cars only. Kevin made Q1 and Q2



If rules got bent to discount the run it dilutes all the hard work we all put in to make our stuff competitive.

Very valid questions Larry…...Makes one WONDER , are there any enforceable rules any more ?? OR, are the RULES just suggestions ??

This is one of the many reasons AHFS doesn't work every time there's an opportunity for it to work people find ways around it. Not even saying anyone done anything wrong here but one would think that if someone passes first round there's a reasonable expectation they pass Q2.

No pup in this, but they used to ask if you went faster than your first run you got rechecked. Same as record runs you first had to break the record then you had to back it up. But this was the way Wayne Lewis [RIP] explained it to me, could be different now. Tom

Somebody help a foggy brain here - wasn't there a rule update where you couldn't avoid a hit by something under your control once the pass was made? Did that only apply to bypassing the scales and not involve fuel?

I am led to believe that some people capable of running fast, carry a small
bottle of gas additive with them in there glove box or wherever, and add
that to their fuel when they have gone quicker than they wanted. I observed
someone who failed fuel check last year, and didn't observe any corrective
action to their fuel system. If I failed fuel check, I would dump that container
of fuel, take a new container to tech, make sure it was good, drain what was in the car, rinse it twice with the good fuel, fill up my cell and drive to tech to take a new sample of the new fuel and make sure it was good, but that's
just me. I'm sure everybody handles it differently.

This happened to me at my first race ever in Stock at Orlando last year. I essentially did exactly what you described and passed fuel check in Q2. I still don't know why I failed the first time but I took corrective action immediately.

Nail polish remover comes in a very small bottle and I keep it in my pocket ..

[J.R. Haddad]

M.J. It might be time to ditch the nail polish. There are now only Men
and Women. No more of that in between stuff.

Maybe some of our Stock/Super Stock representatives could help us out here and get some sunlight on the subject.
Thanks for you help!

How much difference is there between division tech and national event tech ?
