Whither the 425/427 decicion....

bill dedman · 05-20-2009, 11:30 PM

According to what was posted on this BB, NHRA Tech officials were going to meet at Bristol on last Friday, May 15, to discuss the now-infamous Boise-Hal Sorensen scale/AHFS incident.

Friday has come and gone, and it's now the following Thursday, and nothing has been posted as to what decision has been made, or whether, in fact, it's been decided, yet.

If it has, does anyone have the particulars?

If it hasn't, WHY hasn't it been? This is a not-too-complicated issue that was apparently witnessed by a lot of people, most of whom seem to have agreed on exactly what happened and when.

A lot of issues involving other racers are riding on the outcome of this decision by NHRA.

Has anyone received any solid information as to what the outcome of this is, or failing that, when the decision might be forthcoming?

Any information would be appreciated!!!!

Bill

Gee; I wonder what the reason for the holdup is; this isn't exactly rocket science....

Maybe it's that no one that claimed to see it is willing to step up or no one saw anything and they were just plain light. It won't affect anyone if it stays like it is.

Well ask the E body hemi guys what they think about it. Build a Road Runner and claim 27 less HP.

It's because the hi-archy at NHRA doesn't give a flying ______ about it. My friend submitted a request writing last June through his division (2), the Div 2 sports rep, and to the NHRA sportsman rules committee and has not recieved an answer yet. When he approached the said individual at NHRA in Concord last year he was quoted as saying he bever got the info. Well my friend had copies of emails and delivery reciepts showing otherwise; tech guys response was I must of deleted it by accident. He was told then in September it would be handled after the Finals, well it's almost June and nothing has happened. They are a bunch of hypocrits!!!!

The second Div 6 race is this weekend in Mission BC. Hopefully some thing may come out at this race. Nobody is willing to say anything because nobody wants to be torn down in a foreign country. I will be going up there saturday to hang out with some friends and get some info on the combation I am working on, hope to here something. Harry 6674 are you going to be there?

Harry 6674 · 05-21-2009, 01:38 PM

No I won't be there. I've had issues with the canadian govt. for a few years so I don't spend my money there. Should be a fast track.

DO away with heads up runs and all thsi bullxxxx is a mute point. Get ready that is what it is coming to.

Heads up runs in Stock make up less than 9% In the eliminator, probably less than 5% in Super Stock because there are more classes. It is pretty much a money bracket the way it stands now.

Do that in Ihra , not nhra . The day they do away with heads ups will be the death of the class. Why even race a class car. Just build a cement mixer with a big block Chevy and run bracket 2
