Re: I'm so confused
"they didnt want to rub salt in the wounds of all the non DP and CJ racers whats a little cheatin if there so bogus"
NHRA wasted their time tearing down the DP/CJ cars. I agree with bubski, it's not that they were going to find anything illegal about those cars, it's that the horsepower rating for the combos are not even close! I am sure there are plenty of other cars they should have been looking at. And here's something to think about, why was the #1 qualifier not torn down? No disrespect to Mr. Blossom, he found a unique and killer combo and made the best of it. Everybody knew that combo was going to be fast and NHRA obviously knew it too. Instead they tear down DP/CJ cars that everybody knew was going to be fast, and for what? To find that the specs are dead on and they have been caught with their pants down! Bill Lent O/SA 3158 |

Blossom tore the pt cruiser down at the cordova points meet in august while setting the record. No need to look at it again.

At Vegas , I was picked for teardown as the no. 1 qualifier. When I pointed this out to Bruce, he went to Danny with this fact. Danny's response was "tear him down anyway". I guess he figured it would pass . He does the no. 1 car , it passes ...Everybody looks good. Bottom line though, is : There's no rhyme or reason or precedent to any of this stuff. They make it up as they go along.

Years ago there were times you tore down after class, then after the eliminator. That stopped when they threw both winner and runnerup out.
