First in FS/XX Nhra competition to run in the 7’s. Very cool. Most of the FS/XX Mopars have a tenth on everyone else. Awesome cars.
Pritchett went 8.04 in rd 2, Pawuk went 8.002 in rd 1.
Well...update the run was disallowed do to a suspension issue.

Adjustable 4 link - no go in Stock. Common knowledge. Hard to plead ignorance on that.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

IMHO what caused the wreck was two fold. First, over steer before the front comes down. That sends the front end hard right. Then second, if he hadn't lifted at least by the time the car comes down, just too much momentum and power present to recover from.

Welch was reinstated after welding up the bars.

IMHO what caused the wreck was two fold. The cause of the wreck was doing a wheelie in the first place.

How does one make it through tech with illegal suspension? Lmao at nhra honestly I am guessing the tech they go through at the beginning of the event is safety related. During the event checks are done to verify legality for class, for someone like the number 1 qualifier especially.

IMHO what caused the wreck was two fold. The cause of the wreck was doing a wheelie in the first place. No wheelie bars allowed, hard to prevent with power like that. I ran 8.92, 53.5 percent on the front, 3065 lbs, carried the front almost to the 60 fts on bars.

Bottom bars in a 4 bar suspension in a stocker can not be adjustable, only the tops. He got caught, claimed it had been like that for years, there is no performance advantage and claims he didn't know. Welded the stuff up and they let him race. Got caught with an illegal TB later on in elims, bounced and his competition reinstated.
After the first problem, he complained about other racers complaining about him to NHRA and declared himself to not be a cheater. Maybe he's ignorant of what parts are on his car or in his motor and legitimately didn't know. I know things happen when you have others doing your work. But he is ultimately responsible for those parts on his car. Will see what comes out of this, but lots of traditional Stock guys are unhappy with him being reinstated from the first issue.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
