Thanks Findell, Mosbek, and Wann for the Hp! - Page 2

Hey Runt you guys probably won't get any HP, even though you need about 15. The way the AHFS works (make that doesn't work), you'll probably get 4 hp off. I agree with you that protecting one's HP rating is smart, but even you and your Dad (biggest BS'r I know besides me) have to admit you were living on borrowed time. Findell's car is bad fast and I speak from personal experience. So are Mr Wanns and Mr Mosbecks.

I know that you are upset, but your just gonna have to spend some more of Daddy's money to make up for the the 7 hp you are going to get for your Birthday. Hey, it really couldn't happen to a nicer person in my opinion LOL. Just kidding.

I was really wanting you to go to Indy and really put on a show, but I guess my prayers were answered anyway. Man I love this. Can't wait till I see you guys. Hey if you need some lead weight I've got about 250 lbs laying around the shop.

You guys going to Belle Rose?

Your Friendly Ford Bud

I know I watched today on dragracecentral and thanked my stars that no one had a small block Nova on the complex.

Good stuff RJ nothing like showing your love

My combination got 3 HP before I even had the car finished! At least you got to race your car awhile before it got hit, and the cars that got you hit will, most likely, be torn down. That is what class racing is about,...going FAST! (just not too fast) LOL

This is my first post, i usually keep my mouth shut on these subjects. I know David was upset about what happened to him, but it happens to all of us. Heck it just happened to me! How would u feel if an egotistical idiot built your combo JUST TO GET IT HIT WITH HP!!!???? I dont think Findell, Mosbek, or Wann's intent was malicious. They were just doin what they had to. It's never fun to get hit with HP though. But as far as losing on purpose in class, ive shut my car off a few times to not get HP. Sometimes its better to think long-term not short-term. So i dont blame him for it. I race to win the event...not class. Its hard to win a heads up 3rd round or so if you are constantly gettin hit with HP. By the way D-Buck, you did deserve the HP. Now you'll only be #1 qualifier by a tenth!!

----And the biggest BS'r is RJ...hands down!!!

So why did the Challanger get horse power and the Duster didnt? The NHRA rule shows the same wheel base and the same engine combo. Are the shipping weights different?

Rod Greene · 09-04-2009, 11:16 AM

I believe a certain orange Cuda without its normal driver was responsible for some of the HP. E bodies and A bodies are different cars.
David is Jerry bringing his car also?

That 1 run at Pomona was one run of many by that car in many locations. That West Coast Car went to INDY, Las Vegas, Pheonix, Boise, Pomona,Denver. For such a bogus piece we sure hid it well. It was torn down 5 different times and was bounced 1 time because they did not like the way the Head looked. It measured to spec if you remember and it should also be noted Rod, as you know they were comparing parts to another 340 car at the same time. How many times does that happen?
This same thing happened to us at pomona years before we were 1 of 2 cars torn down and they both were 340 dusters. We showed up and they would not take parts until the others were there as well. We were not bounced that time as our competitor was for camshaft i believe.
Hartzler's car was the one that went 1.40 under and God Bless him for it as it gives all others a number to shoot for.

Your last post was much better, Mr. Buckner, it takes a man to be humble and admit a mistake! You da' man!
