Tuesday H.P.

Once again, I am not trying to single anyone out. But the Stocker corvette that had an illegal throttle body in the final of class for the Gators and got DQed, is now in Super Stock at the Gators.....and classified wrong on DRC, shows SS/F but should be SS/FA. Guess that Throttle body is legal for SS?? Jsut asking a serious question.

He’s listed as a 05 Sunfire, Not the Corvette.....

Pete, he used to race an 05 Sunfire in SS so that data didn't get changed more than likely. Also I saw pictures of it making a pass in qualifying in super stock. But I guess the penalty would be just for Stock.

How does the Super Stock competitor that went 1.23 under in a heads up eliminations run get the courtesy of having his engine builder tear his motor apart in his own trailer and then take the parts nhra wants to see to the tech people???

What do you expect when NHRA sleeps with one of the biggest violators of the rules?

Bryan ,That’s not what happened , actually tech came to lanes before round 4 said raise my hood , then sealed my engine throttle body , intake and heads , told me come to trailer after I lost . So after 4th round I went to tech trailer and said I was done , also I asked if I could do it at my trailer, tech official came to my trailer check engine seals and the put his initials on throttle body , intake and cylinder head . A fellow racer helped take my engine apart when it was apart Jeff came to trailer to help as I am his customer. Tech came to my trailer checked his initials and with 3 other tech officials proceeded to measure and cc my head, bore and store , gasket thickness and throttle body. . So that’s what happened many times when only one tear down they will let competitor doit at their trailer gor lack of facilities.Would everyone be happyier if I tore it down outside at the tech trailer next to the scales . Come on guys .

LS1 Power, we all do it....it's called assumption. Until the actual truth comes out, it is what WE all do. It is human nature for the most part. But when we ASSUME....well, it's not hard to spell that out. Glad you aired out what happened. Not saying Bryan is or was in the wrong at all. Sometimes words on a screen get interpreted in the wrong context.

I didn’t assume this, I was told this by a fellow competitor that was there. The info on the location of the tear down was accurate, just lacked the details as to why. Irvin provided those details for us all. Now we know.

Bryan Worner · 03-15-2021, 10:01 PM

I just found it odd that the tear down was at your trailer instead of a tech barn because that’s where every tear down I’ve been involved with has taken place. Thanks for the explanation.

They kept the throttle body that was not up to their standards. Brought them a junkyard one which is sealed on the car now. I had to do a lot of different things they wanted me to and have talked with a lot of people all week. Yes I was punished and it goes much further than just a DQ at the points race. With that being said I don’t think the behind the scenes stuff is anyone’s business. -Cody
