Sox & Martin HEMI Challenge

NHRA is not the bad guy here. .008 is still too big just as 2cc over in a port or -.001 red at the tree, even -.001 breakout is a loss. I commend NHRA finally enforcing tech with no gray areas. Truly Black and white.

The real loser here is not having a winner in the shootout. If this was Top Fuel there would be a winner. The purse means jack sh!t to these guys divvied up. It's the Prestige of putting your name in history and holding up the trophy at Indy! If it was T/F there would be no re-run. The win would go to the fastest car in the semis. I was rooting for Comella's to get 5 in a row but Anthony Rhodes ran the fastest and also had a better light, AKA your winner. As for tech, Wescott knows the rules. His cars fenders had no bubbles for 12 or 13 years, when that rule was put in effect. The race needed a winner.... Very sad for the fans and competitors, but again a big THANK YOU to NHRA tech staff. Easier to draw a line and make it black and white than have another Hemi Head cylinder head disaster
