I don't remember the FAST Vette ever being teched since I have been around before cheating was rampant? With all that said I do enjoy going to these races and I think Terry and Dave do a great job. But if there gonna race and if there going to be at the top of the page they both should be teched along with everyone else.

Last year the L88 went pretty quick and I think that Dave did a quick tech that included a drive, stall speed, shocks springs, and a few other items I guess the problem is that the tech results are not posted, so no one really knows the who what and whens........

I can see it now With an 11.50 cut off, Stanton may be a bit anticlimactic, but I'll bet the back rows will really be an eye opener. July 19th should be "Drive Like Rockford Day". R.I.P. Jimmie.

I see a head laying on a table , I only know Tom in that picture and as said that was 6 or 7 years ago, the car is how many tenths faster NOW ??? Did it just get that much faster as the engine is getting more broken in ??? Did they change to a driver that is 300 lbs lighter ??? Is wind friction peeling layers of paint off to make the car lighter and slipperier ??? I'm pretty sure the same goes for Stanton, a car is only certified for that event? I remember all the drama the year I went, Terry pulled his cam, Jimmy running as fast as he did and trying to claim his cert from the year before, didn't his car break and never had a clean pass, was still good after he fixed whatever broke with no recert ?

I think the top dogs should be tech'd on occasion no matter who they are including Dave or Terry. I am not one who owns a car in Pure stock or FAST, but I consider Ed, Dave, Tony D. and Bob K. friends of mine. I get the gut feeling something is rotten, but I could be wrong. -------------------- RM27H9G 4 speed F8/tan guts RS27L9G auto B5/black guts WM23H9G auto F5/green guts 2021 Challenger 392 Indigo/black guts 2019 Charger Daytona R/T F8 on black 2018 Ram Sport Hemi 4x4

It was hinted by some that Terry was running a smaller cam, the factory cam is too big, so he pulled the cam out in front of everyone right there at the track and handed it to the powers that be to have it checked.

Quote: Funny, I was there all weekend and I don't remember terry refusing any tech,in fact we pulled the valve covers to dis- spell the rumor of lightwieght valve train components. Brother Dave has been all over this car, i would think if he found something he would say.Other Vettes have been in the 11.30's Are they also cheating?If you don't like the L 88's now you are going to be real unhappy in the near future Maybe in the near future, the vehicle combinations that the chevy crowd doesn't like will be legalized.........NAH........can't have that.

I almost bought a 69 Camaro that had an L88 in it back in the early 80's, I'd probably been a chevy reconvert if I had.
