I don't know how you could say such a thing. My past experiences with Mr. Gracia have been nothing but pleasurable and down right fun! I think he gets a very unfair rap for being firm, and consistent. If it wasn't for tech officials like him, the cheating would be rampant.

Bret, I absolutely agree with you.

We got a number of horsepower hits by at least one car, and maybe two that had illegal engines.

A tear down for horsepower is fair for everyone, that car causing the hit, and proving to others that it is a legal car.

We actually got torn down for 1.20 under in Chicago, and were found to be totally legal. It should be about racing honestly, and be willing to prove it. I hadn't heard of anyone else being torn down for 1.20 under, but I think they all should be.

Hi Artie, Did you really ! Bottom line of that is it should be published to racers that you were torn down and whether you passed or failed and if you failed what for. Would you prefer that than word of mouth and stories getting mixed up ?

[Peter Ash]

Would it be a problem to request N.H.R.A. rescind any A.H.F.S. hits where there has been no confirmation of the car and engines compliance with the posted N.H.R.A. specifications.

Has anyone tried?

Maybe it's because most of the (new combo's) are so grosley under factored that even with the hit these cars can still run 1.5 under any time!!!

I believe Art was torn down because he set a record.

True. He set the SS/GS record. Jim

Why have rules if you don't enforce them?? It's not like there are a bunch of car's that trigger the automatic 1.20 under AHFS at these races. Maybe 2 or 3 on a good day. So your telling me it would be too hard on NHRA to tear down these guy's to make the whole system work!!! Come on NHRA you're better than that. Remember being at the races with my uncle in the 70's and 80's and him being torn down all the time. I thought man that's cool they really try to make this is fair as possible. NHRA don't forget what made this such a great sport!!!!
