And as I recall, I don't think either versions were 100% correct. If you are going to count first round of stock class as qualifying, then you should be able to put out a list, which can be amended if there is an issue in teardown shortly there after. Or if you can't maybe you shouldn't run the eliminator the following day. It is amazing everyone gets their vehicle back together in 7 to 10 hours after teardown. You would think you could put out an up to-date qualifying sheet in the same amount of time.

And while I am ranting, who the h... protests a racer who is at his first US Nationals and asks to have them look at his crankshaft. Knowing full well that it will require the engine to be pulled from the car and completely disassembled with very little time to get it put back together for a next day 8 am first round of stock eliminator. That person is one SOB! And he had to lodge the complaint on Wednesday to make it happen on Thursday. NHRA Tech should have realized what it was for and put the kabosh on it. Harassments plain and simple. I don't race any more, just follow it and it still burns my fanny that this was allowed to happen. My motto was never complain, never explain; do unto others as they do to you. Those that deserve respect get respect, those that don't ... well the they don't get any!

When Steve Gibbs retired, running of the races has been a bit loose and seems like they don't have the knowledgeable people or enough of them to do the job right any longer!

Proud to say Donnie Beeler is a friend and was definitely happy to see his victory and that he is a US Nationals Champion! Way to go Donnie and Goldie!
