what's up with Paul Lee; maybe I misread something, but I thought once he came back out this year that he was going to run most of the events.

Most of doesn't mean all.

He has run less than more lol. These darn hobby racers lol

why run Denver if you are not chasing points?

John ... you can find entry details on the NHRA site. Paul Lee is registered for the balance of events from Brainerd to Pomona. May not completely pan out like that, but its "on paper" that way.

Blake didn't. Solid philosophy.

I'm chasing points in D5 and I still don't run Denver. It's a tough one if you don't live in the mountains or are in a position where you can't do a lot of testing at altitude.

Brad, how much would you slow down at Denver? I see Pro/S barely running 6.90's, so they are .4 or .5 slower. Just curious. Whole different tune up on the Mountain.

I don't know how much of a drop we would see, but that's because I really don't know how close our blower is to being maxed out (I don't think we're too far off). Those who are spinning them fairly soft at sea level can just turn them a little harder and make up most if not all the difference (or at least get to 6.10 again, even if the speed is a little down). Under the current setup, I would guess that I'd probably be close to .5 seconds off the pace, and that's if we get the fuel right. However, I will likely never find out for sure.

Thanks Brad.

Dragging this old thread back up. Looks like Paul is going to take off a few races.

paul doesn't have to prove anything to anybody. he is a winner all the way around. what a great year. hope his last couple this year are problem free with round wins.

Good for him………stupid countdown.

 

[z28]

Paul self sponsors the car. He can do as he likes. They all know the rules going in so you either earn a countdown spot or you don't. You can earn it two ways by points or participation. We can beat that horse to death but it's still the current rule.

Major Spoiler for some of the C/D players... I wouldn't bet that Paul will be a early-round duck for the next couple of months if he changes his mind and comes out for the end races.

I didn’t know that Krista Baldwin works for him at McLeod also. Pretty cool.

 

[Pete]

Paul put out a press release saying he was taking off, minus the last couple of races. This was due to not being able to get above 14th in points due to the countdown points shuffle

BAN THE CLOWN-DOWN

paul loses to cruz on a holeshot in E1 indy. alexis beats hagan to move around paul by 19 points. that's how it goes.
the 80k paul pocketed in the shootout, combined with the savings from countdown races he will not attend, and he is waaaaay ahead.
think about that when there is a bye in one or two of the upcoming FC countdown races.

I'm so into the Sportsman classes, I read that as C/Dragster and was like - Is Paul going to run Comp Eliminator? LOL
