Guys this is the new NHRA where you can make up a combo and run whatever class you want. Just ask Jimmie Bridges. He’s been doing it for years.

What do run? Where have you won? What records have you set? Have you ever even made a pass down a track? Looks like you only get on here to bash someone or their work. You like calling out names, how about you call out yours. How about you climb in a class and see how well you do.

I’m not sure what any of that has to do with the facts at hand. Poor Jimmy Allund came all the way across the pond with his Nova, ran it in the wrong class as was DQ’d after qualyfying. Why the double standard?

I see the facts in the black and white in the NHRA classification guide.

Yeah, well what you don't see, or grasp, is that NHRA officials told Jimmy his car was legal to run SS/B after they added HP to that combination because he was going too fast in SS/C (he alone pushed the combination well below 0.85 under) and after he set the record, in Bowling Green, in August. So, you falsely accused Jimmy of making up rules. Jimmy asked NHRA if the additional HP made his car legal to run SS/B, and NHRA told him yes, and passed it through tech as being legal.



Oh, the reason the NHRA official told Jimmy he could move was because the HP was put on the combination strictly by him, so that official said that the HP was on the aluminum heads, because Jimmy had only run the aluminum heads and he was the only one running the combination.




Funny, Dallas Kelly never complained about Jimmy running SS/B. Neither did A.H. Adkins. Neither did Steve Kent or J. Allen Sherman. The hitters in SS/B never seemed to be bothered by Jimmy Bridges being in the class with them.

Fascinating story, but what does this have to do with Jimmy Alund's Nova stocker?

Alan,

Thank you for confirming he is racing a combo that doesn't exist in the guide. If another racer builds this combo, which NHRA tech official do they ask to run this special class and combo?

BTW I have nothing but upmost respect for Jimmy however his merits or circumstances doesn't make him exempt from the rules that everyone else has to adhere too.

Fred is right on this
