well art i guess it could have been worse but a tenth is still tough to take.

[art leong]

Larry it's the Artie Leong factor. Anyone else that has got the instant factor has not been factored twice.
This is the second time they have done this to me other people get 3.25, I get 8.5% in one session. Others get 1.5 tenths I get 2.5 tenths in one session
I just might go get a lawyer maybe they don't like the fact I'm Chinese.
If I was a betting man. Larry I'd take odds that another .15 is on the horizon.
If Chrysler of Ford had given me one of their new pieces they would be in top/fool by now,
Maybe thats why they don't give me any thing.

You did go 1.56 under. You still can be number one when you want.

Oh wait, forgot about the .15 already. Wow, .25 in a couple months is pretty difficult to take.

There hasn't been a SS/GS car down the track since I got the tenth and a half.
I can and will deal with it. But it only seems to happen to "ME"

Larry I told you about the Artie Leong factor. Who else do you know that had to run the final round of a national event 3 times. Till they lost.
At the PRI show one of the powers that be (will remain nameless) told me I had to run a stock throttle body on my modified motor.
Just remember the last time they gave me the business I went out and went 2.04 under
Just something else for them to stick where the sun don't shine.
I'll turn the present into a (January) birthday gift. Thanks in advance I'm going to need it.

Artie -- I've known you since the early Seventies ----------------------------- Chinese ? ? Hmmmmm...........................................I f they're picking on you for being Chinese maybe that explains all my extra HP over the years - could it be my Hungarian backround ? Merry Christmas my friend ..............

Art,
Remember, I think they are NOT shooting you in the foot with the throttle body change. PM Me the sizes of the 2 and I'll run some nunbers. I still think it will pull off the gear change better with the stock one. The big one might work better if you could get a lot more than the 4.61 final drive gear.
I say put it on and then go another 1.50 under, thumbing nose!!! :~#)

I just got an email stating it was a mistake.
For us in division two. I want to state Jim Collins is a real gentleman, and a standup guy.
I called him about the throttlebody problem and he said the rule stated I could run anything I wanted. He even called California yesterday. And squared it with them. Then he called me this morning to tell me about it. This renews some of my faith in NHRA. It brought me back to the days of Gregg X and Marty B. They were fair and used a lot of common sense.

I agree Artie! Jim has always been a stand up guy. Too bad there are so few like him. Glad they corrected the mistake. Jim
