CJ OUT at Indy!!

The whole situation with Tim Bishop is probably the worst that I've seen in years. NHRA did not do the right thing here. There was nothing wrong with his pistons and this engine was built by one of the most respected engine builders in Stock Eliminator.

What really amazes me is the fact that CP pistons and NHRA are suppose to be on the same page and working in concert together in this world of Stock Eliminator that we live in. Both parties are suppose to know what the other one is doing and wants, but it's 180 degrees the other way! Chaos! No communication skills at all, that's for sure!

When you're dealing with the expenses in getting to Indy, and all it takes to maintain a race car, there is no excuse for what happened here. T. Bishop should be given the class win in this situation. This issue is between CP and NHRA. Not the racer who was legal in all parameters of his engine.
