HP on Monday?

[Dan Bennett]

Somebody help a foggy brain here - wasn't there a rule update where you couldn't avoid a hit by something under your control once the pass was made? Did that only apply to bypassing the scales and not involve fuel?

[J.R. Haddad]

I am led to believe that some people capable of running fast, carry a small
bottle of gas additive with them in there glove box or wherever, and add
that to their fuel when they have gone quicker than they wanted. I observed
someone who failed fuel check last year, and didn't observe any corrective
action to their fuel system. If I failed fuel check, I would dump that container
of fuel, take a new container to tech, make sure it was good, drain what was in the car, rinse it twice with the good fuel, fill up my cell and drive to tech to take a new sample of the new fuel and make sure it was good, but that's
just me. I'm sure everybody handles it differently.

This happened to me at my first race ever in Stock at Orlando last year. I essentially did exactly what you described and passed fuel check in Q2. I still don't know why I failed the first time but I took corrective action immediately.

Nail polish remover comes in a very small bottle and I keep it in my pocket ..

[J.R. Haddad]

M.J. It might be time to ditch the nail polish. There are now only Men
and Women. No more of that in between stuff.

If you go thru fuel check and your fuel fails and it is way out of wack for some suspicious reason tech will normally keep your sample and have it analyzed to see what is in it.

Maybe some of our Stock/Super Stock representatives could help us out here and get some sunlight on the subject.
Thanks for you help!

How much difference is there between division tech and national event tech ?

[Larry Hill]

It should be none, the rule book does not change

Question how much of a issue is it to have the software written that when there is a 1.30 under run it triggers the tower and then they can communicate with the scales? Maybe it will only result in finding out the guy/girl is in the wrong class but maybe this could have been avoided.
Second how much longer are you guys/girls going to run with this broken system. If this is supposed to be a performance based class then why is the most frequent ask question " what do i have to do to slow it down"?? Starting to sound more like a throttle stop class than a performance based class. What is the system there to protect?? Lets take the AH class you really think that them guys are going to see how much oil they can run and timing they can pull just to make the 3 at the bottom of the sheet feel better??? The time it takes to look at every run down the track what class it was in and a average of all them that time couldn't be better spent elsewhere. How do you race a performance based class with a noose around your neck and call it fun?
