Maybe I can answer my own question. Didn't Todd have a match race the week before? If so, maybe the headers was used then and they were in the still in the transporter and the crew put them on by mistake. If that's the case then I'm sure Connie will have a "come to Jesus" meeting with the crew.I bet that DQ put Connie in a good mood. If it was the headers, since they are illegall why were they even in the pits in the first place?
OK! Wasn't sure about that so back to my original question, if the headers caused the DQ, why were they even in the pits?JR didn't have a match race the week before.
If it was because of the body, wouldnt Dejoria and Capps be in violation as well. Maybe I’m incorrect, but the touring pro cars generally do not go through tech prior to each race. If they have a new car or body they do, but otherwise they do not.since the header angle is measured back from the body (my understanding) there may have been a slight change with the new bodies that wasn't noticed before or they just screwed up. I wonder if they check it when the car is teched before the race?
Descibe small tolerance. Was it the header angle? Was it the size (diameter of the tube) of the header? Was it just one header on one side or both sides?NHRA officials disqualified Todd’s run due to one of the headers being out of tolerance by a small margin.
From post race KMS report
That was all the post race report said.Descibe small tolerance. Was it the header angle? Was it the size (diameter of the tube) of the header? Was it just one header on one side or both sides?
Does Connie like Dairy Queen?I bet that DQ put Connie in a good mood.
Callout points come from qualifying only. Basically the same way the fields for the old K&N Horsepower Challenge and the Pro Bike Battle were set.monday on DRC there was a pep-boys all-star callout points update. an asterik next to wilk's name states that if tim qualifies in brainerd,
he locks final spot in shootout, which of course is guaranteed with only 15 FC's ....... anybody know exactly how pep boy all star points are earned?
best i can find is rather ambiguous statement about qualifying points. if that's the case then the field was practically set after Q in topeka.
if pep boy points somehow have something to do with Q and round wins, then JR's DQ is kind of a big deal.
This year?Pretty sure it was something with the heads/headers. Thats what the broadcast said. Poor Alexia, tree is killing her this year.
