I have noticed on several occasions the SUMMIT pro stock team has had a exaust fire that will not go out quickly. I am forced to believe they are cheating. Its not cheating until you are caught. no way the other GM cars can not compete with them. they always qualify just OK then all of a sudden they find the tune. Bob glidden wrecked at 170+ jumps out and covers his intake.

Once the PS guys started using fabricated intakes instead of over-the-counter cast intakes, covering the intake was pretty much the norm. And think about it ... he could never have gone through tech without them looking at the intake !!

That's because there are no rules against "tuneups".....only against illegal parts and fuel.....btw, a lot of cars have header fires on shutdown. I seriously doubt Anderson and Line are going to risk losing a long-term multi-million dollar sponsorship by cheating. All the drivers and teams have seen what NH did to Eckman when he blew off his oil pan with a blue bottle....

the point I was making they would not be caught cheating in the tach check in. And maby they are not. and for their sponsor. Anderson was caught shaving the front tires below tred tolerance 2 years ago. They are doing something. I think, maby not. Its difficult for me to think these other GM teams can out qualify the Summit team and then whammy Anderson/Line find the answer

If NHRA used a fuel carbon sampler that would tell. A simple chemical test would identify carbon from gasses like nitros , alky etc.

I’ve heard a few years ago a certain dodge team used to fill an empty battery and run the NO2 line up and through the starter.

I’ve also been hearing a couple of interesting things on Jegs winning a championship, and then all of a sudden just didn’t want to run last year.

Isn’t gossip fun!

I think it was ronnie humphrey but i noticed it the last race. when he lit the pre stage and cleaned the car out it was 3 and sounded like he was purging through the motor lol.

it's funny that no matter if someone get's a holeshot on them and is in front. the summit cars always seem to power by at the end
