How 'bout ..........adding weight after the run

This is the winner from what I hear ,shot bags in the seat after the run.

Also the word is going around that there is no longer a Mike Ashley racing business?

 

[FC Girl]

Hey Jerry, Bingo, but there are other places too. Just to Keep the record Straight though, We DON'T Do THAT!!!


I was just giving Patrick Crap!!

 

[Nitrohelper]

but there are other places too.

We always used the helmet, it is use to having dead weight in it.

 

[FC Girl]

I refrained, that is another spot

There are more locations too!!!

You're comment is very funny!!!!

I want to add something to this to send Kudos to NHRA Tech.

When we ran Topeka last month, for the first time in a LONG time at a National event, they were checking Stagger on ALL The Alky Cars.

I was TRYING to find out why, they just kept smiling, so I kept asking. They are really cracking down and personally, I'm glad!! We have nothing to hide, but you just never know who might.

I noticed the MPH and E/T was slightly down on F/C, I wonder if the teams took it upon themselves to slow down because of the short track.

 

[camaro]

i know rules are rules, but with such light turn outs in the nitro classes, they shouldn't be throwin' anybody out ! its my understanding that these infractions were discovered during spot checks, well if your gonna have spot checks, do it when 20 plus cars show up or just fine the teams instead of tossing them out.

It would be nice to know what and ware the "loose ballast" was.

 

[Von Halen]

I was told at the track that it was a sand bag. Not sure if that is true or not.

Re: Troxel & Scelzi

I wonder why Buff was DQ'd in TF.

Paul,

Troy was light at the scales in the first qualifier. Didn't matter in the end he made the field in the second session

Harry - hopefully, we'll find out in 10 minutes!

I am telling Doc you said that!!!!

Darn Crewchiefs anyway!

Rapid {I got a haircut before Cordova, to lose any extra "Dead Weight" before racing Jerry at the Heritage race}

 

[The Counterfeiter]

Replies from teams - NEXT!

 

[paoldtimer]

Both admit it was there but we dont know what it was.

 

[Rick Rzepka]

DRC is reporting their runs were DQed, anybody know why?

because the rule book say s "no loose ballast" as they both admitted to having! the werent dq d for over weight!
no loose ballast!! guilty as charged!

 

[The Counterfeiter]

OOPS! . . . Scelzi and Mel both admit there was loose ballast in the cars and go on to talk about inconsistent scales. Doesn't matter - they broke a rule and there is no doubt about what the Rule Book says.
If the loose ballast was in the cars during the runs, it was a very bad safety decision. If the ballast mysteriously appeared after the runs, you can draw your own conclusions.

finally a mater who gets it!!!

Sounds like everybody has to do it because of the fluctuation of the scales.
