Justin did you just make that all up? Just playin', that was a very good post and as you said, really just scratches the surface as to what goes into making these cars run at the level they do.
It seems funny that several races ago NHRA mandated that PS cars must come to the staging lanes w/ an empty fuel cell. Since that race, other teams have been winning or qualifying #1
WHY?? fuel temperature was one guess as other sanctioning bodies have basically outlawed cold fuel.
Way back when Bill Jenkins was racing, he had a cooling system for his fuel.

Getting fueled in the lanes is not new. NHRA has been doing it for years. It's not an every run thing, but every now and then they will come to the pit and tell you to come up empty, it was happening ever since the fuel was speced in the early 00's.
NHRA does a number of things that are not "scheduled" they spot check and since the racers never know when a check is coming, they tend to stay on the right side of the rules.

everybody uses that "important sponsor" excuse when bringing up cheating or getting away with supposed rules infractions....I seem to remember that Pennzoil has sponsored several different cars since Orndorff/ Eckman got banned from Pro Stock
Hornets are hotI heard she's driving a Hudson next year!
