FFW RESULTS

TO THE OFFICIALS AT FFW IN ATLANTA I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THE TECHING OF THE CARS IN TRUE STREET. GOING BACK TO THE FACTS GIVIN BY jtp, I NOW SEE WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT SAYING SOME CARS WERE SPENDING NO TIME IN TECH, STARTING WITH LES BAER'S RACE CAR. WHY WAS HE ABLE TO BE TECHED ON FRIDAY? FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THE TECH TIMES WERE FOR SATURDAY, THEREFORE MAKING IT UNFAIR TO THE OTHERS IN TRUE STREET THAT DIDN'T HAVE EXTRA TIME TO MODIFY THEIR CARS FOR TECH! FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE GUY WHO RUN THE 9.56-145 HAD KNOWN 24hrs BEFORE RACING THAT HIS ROLL CAGE WOULDN'T PASS TECH, HE COULD HAVE BROUGHT IT UP TO TECH SPEC'S. SPEAKING OF RULES, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GET DOWN TO IT, THE NHRA RULE BOOK PLAINLY STATES THAT IN NO WAY CAN YOU ALTER ANY BODY COMPONENTS SUCH AS FIREWALLS OR STRUT TOWERS IN THE PRO 5.0 CLASS, BUT I GUESS WHEN YOUR CAR IS BEING TECHED BY YOUR OWN SPONSORS IT REALLY DON'T MATTER, SOUNDS LIKE A POLITICION GAME TO ME. ANOTHER QUESTION IS THAT WHY DID THE 30 MILE TOUR ONLY TURN OUT TO BE ONLY 19 MILES, BECAUSE YOU KNOW 10 MORE MILES COULD HAVE MADE A DIFFERANCE! IN CLOSING, TO MR.ROBERTS, ALTHOUGH YOUR CAR WAS DQ'ED, YOU STILL PUT ON ONE HELL OF A SHOW FOR US FANS WITH THE 1000FT WHEELEE, WITH A NICE PAINT JOB AND A FULL ROLL CAGE MAYBE THEN YOU CAN MAKE IT INTO THE MAGAZINES!
SINCERELY,

HAPPY MOTORING
