From what I hearJohn Calvert did teardown. Might not of been until Sunday. Paul Wong was not torn but is the only one that runs his combo so he has only affected himself with the added power and no one else. Could be the reason he was not torn.

Why should that be a factor? My understanding is that anyone that runs 1.20 or more under will be automatically torn down.

Your understanding is incorrect. It has been arbitrary all year long. It is not automatic......As for Paul Wong, he has been torn down many times in his racing career, ......

Paul has been torn down several times in that car and has always passed.

If they are operating under the "torn down many times" conditions, I would think a guy that was just torn down 2 weeks ago would fall under that. Yet, Bobby was torn down in Vegas again. I am not saying Paul wouldnt pass tear down, but if we are going to start tearing down 1.20+ under runs, then they should get ALL of them.

I was fully prepared for the tear down. I even had help come out so I could get it done quickly. There was no mention of bringing the car up, so I figured I was getting the power and that was that. I have done many late notice tear downs some in the dark even. Even one at Indy when they were calling for me and a couple other racers. I was the only one to show up on for Friday afternoon when the other racers left the property.

I think that I was probably the first to do this in recent times. I know how that all came about and still feel that it was a good call on the NHRA's part. As for Vegas, the car that I was most interested in was torn down and passed..... |

Mr. Gump, obviously you have a selective MEMORY. A certain Mustang Il went 1 20 under at the gators and didn’t tear down .....You can’t blame the racer if they are not invited to the party. Paul Wong was ready for the party, but there was no invite .....BTW, I liked you in the movie.....
