Guess what? These things happen and most of the time nobody ever hears about it. I don't recall seeing a post for you guys, "Voth OUT at KC!!!" The story about Ford sending in the wrong spec is entirely possible and this (small) issue will be resolved, just like most other tech violations.
And in the interest of fair reporting, would you (and many others here) be making such a big deal out of this if it was a supercharged LS7 Camaro or Corvette that got tossed for the same violation?
Just saying.

Jerry, I think it is noteworthy. The cars were definately stock. They were definately illegal,(because of a clerical error) and come Tuesday, they will be legal again. I don't think they are getting picked on. If NHRA didn't pick any CJs it would have been a bigger story.I was surprised they didn't pick any Mopars, but that could have been because Johns broke and Big didn't qualify (who knows) If there were any GM factory products made and flying, I would hope also that they would be torn down. I hope that the success of the Ford Program and hopefully Mopars are seen as proof that involvement in Motorsports is worthy of their marketing budget again. The CJ guys don't need any real defense. They are racers with some bad a** cars! There is a guy that brought one to Cordova and he was leaving low like a street car, granny shifting thr stock 6 speed and went 10.70's. He and his boy were having a blast. I don't think they had to turn a wrench on this car. I bet you spent some time in the garage on yours. Speaking of that, where are you Jerry? You should be at some Heartland races or Divisionals at Cordova or TriState! You coming to Earlville? Rob Turkal won the Sunday Stock Superstock meet there yesterday in his I stick car.
