Horsepower on tuesday

[Larry Hill]

According to live timing,last pair.

[Jeff Lane]

Sorenson was 2 cars in front of us when we ran and was doing his fuel check when we were sitting on the scales.

All of your theories are just ridiculous...

Come on over and pick on Grump if you need to....

If this was a comp car it would make sense for a crew member to pick up and deliver time slip. This is stock eliminator, Nobody does that. There’s no need for crew members to be with the car before it gets to the scales unless the car is broke and everyone is in agreement that the car was able to drive to the scales.

The time slip booth at Woodburn is near the tower/starting line. It’s very common for crew members to grab the time slip and drive down to the return road so the driver can review the time slip while waiting to scale/fuel check. So, yes, lots of people do this.

Julie,

I believe you receive timeslip before scale at Woodburn now.
Simple question there's 39 cars or whatever did any Super Street cars weigh before Cody?
I'm not an expert not even sure Super Street weighs but typically we are lined up at scale when running at end of session,
not sure why or how someone could cut in if you were there doing your normal routine.

From my understanding from those there, the timeslip booth has been moved past the finish line by the scales.

Also, I can tell you, I talked to Cody Lane myself earlier today and he basically stated the same as Jeff has here. Yes, I actually picked up the phone and called the person in question, rather than communicate over Internet. Full disclosure, he messaged me if I wanted to know with a phone number and I called. I think Cody is a little younger than I am and I’m 29, and somehow we communicated like adults, crazy deal happened earlier today.

Now, I haven’t heard from the NHRA side fully, but I’ve put in a few texts and calls that way as well. I’d suggest if you have questions, you can do the same.

Hey, here's a novel idea that would clear up a lot of the game playing, turn off the ET boards for qualifying (kinda like in the old days before scoreboards), weigh car, fuel check car, THEN receive time slip.
