To correct your press release Mr. Leone I was actually disqualified because I have a standard Rocket spoiler that is exactly 8"x72" as the rule book states in "black and white" as you're astute tech inspector, Brad Hibbard always states is how Fastrak operates. However, I was disqualified because he wanted the lip on the back crushed shut (after it passed pre-race tech inspection), and the "violation" is not a rule in the rule book, On pages 10, 13, and 14 "in black and white". I guess Fastrak rules are open for interpretation after all.

Was your car issued a PRE race pass/weight class tech inspection decal or not?
If no, you have no gripe.
If yes, and then disqualified, FASTRACK officiating major fail.

You were noticeably hooked up last night!

Thank you. And yes. We were issued a pre-race inspection sticker. Brad said if he would have seen the spoiler he wouldn't have issue the sticker. He did tell me in the line up for the B main that if I made the feature, I'd have to fix it. Well A.) I didn't make it into the feature, and B.) it's an .80 aluminum Powdercoated Rocket spoiler which you aren't bending without a brake, and C.) it's not against the rules per the fastrak rule book.

You would flatten it with a pair of vice grip duck billed pliers, it just wouldn't look very good lol

Exactly. I would have had to hammer the shit out of it. I couldn't justify ruining a $200 spoiler for a $125 race. And like I said...Brad said I'd have to fix it if we made the feature. And we didn't make the feature. So we didn't mutilate it.

Did Colton recieve money and points after he was disqualified. If he did, Fastrak is a joke. What is the definition of disqualified?

I dont understand how you get DQed and the car can even be allowed back on the track at all the rest of the night.Miley's and fastrak need to come up with answer for this one lol.93x has a lip that does not do a freaking thing to help performance and gets dqed but you can start fight in the pits and still send your car out thats a freaking joke!

Maybe Brad or Matt will give us an answer! Not much of a deterent if you let someone us drive the car after being DQ'ed. Also, who pitted the car? Would of thought that Mark and Colton would of been thrown out of the track.

Funny wasnt there a big stink about someone trying to protest after the last fastrak race there and we would never get an answer from either party? about a time limit and run around.

How did the 75F getting DQ'ed, and then get a provisional ? :huh: The Juice... in a crate race! Is it time to quit (before?) he hits the lowest of his racing career. :lol: Daryl Charlier was bad ass fast...again! Congrats on a impressive run! B) Overall an enjoyable night @ the speedway, even with the heat! The rain, and sun being down made for nice track conditions. Maybe something to consider, starting later or redress the track @ sundown AND BRING all THE CARS OUT TO PACK IT... IN LIKE 3-4LAPS! B)

However, I was disqualified because he wanted the lip on the back crushed shut (after it passed pre-race tech inspection), and the "violation" is not a rule in the rule book, On pages 10, 13, and 14 "in black and white". I guess Fastrak rules are open for interpretation after all.

Last year at lernerville Brad Hibbard issued a weight penalty to our car because our spoiler had two aluminum straps for supports. Our spoiler had two blades, one on either side, and had two 1" wide aluminum straps that supported the middle section of the spoiler. We were told it was illegal because we had too many supports, however the rules only stated that a maximum of 3 blades were permitted. Our car only had two spoiler blades on it. They actually wanted us to take off one of the aluminum straps and rivet a 72" long aluminum angle piece to the back of the spoiler to brace it. So actually Brad Hibbard wanted me to do the exact thing that you were disqualified for, talk about consistency with the rule book.

By the way, has anyone noticed that the rulebook now has a maximum measurement for the ID of your carburetor venturi's? That was because of me. Last year the rule book only said that the largest carburetor that could be used was a 750 cfm. When we built the carburetor for our car we purchased a proform main body that was advertised at 750 cfm. Brad pulled out his go no-go venturi gage and told us that our carburetor was too big. So he issued us a weight penalty for a teching procedure that was not mentioned within the rulebook. Just so everyone understands, what one manufacturer says is a 750 cfm carburetor might be slightly different then what another manufacturer says. Brad told me that the industry standard was that of a Holley carburetor which measured 1.375" and that every other 750 cfm carburetor should measure that size. I did some research and found that not every carburetor manufacturer goes by this measurement. I believe the manufacturers I got information from was Holley, Proform, and Demon. They all had a different venturi measurement for a 750 cfm carburetor. I gave Brad the links and information and asked him to explain if the industry standard is a Holley sized venturi, why do these other manufacturers have different venturi sizes for a 750 cfm carburetor. Now there is a measurement for your carburetor venturi's.

I agree with all these points, no clue how 75 gets a provisional with davey when they were dq for the night. His old man is a first class ass who always wants to fight when someone touches little colton. Charlier was hooked up too, but if Flinner didn't provide everyone with a late 4th of july explosion then I don' t believe he could have caught mikey norris.

with the way he runs the motor he needs it, he has to be on the very edge of redlining each time he races, we knew it wouldn't take him long to grenade that motor.

It's always a run around with Fastrak I had other questions of my own and couldn't get an answer but it is what it is. On a good note I'd like to thank the Safety crew at PPMS those guys in my opinion are the some best in the business I didn't feel as if I was done wrecking and those guys were there talking to me they do a fantasic job. It's fair to say they're some of the best guys I've had the displeasure of working with lol. Also thanks to Frank, Kurt and Eric Halbedl, Tommy Schirnhoffer, the Lander crew, Andrew, Tom and I know I'm probably forgetting others I was hurting and I appreciate the hard work in the the brutal heat for helping get my car loaded up it was a mess couldn't have done it without you. Finally the Mileys Thanks Ben for leaving the lights on in turn 3 untill I got loaded up I appreciate it absolutely made a difficult job easier.

that's all good and well but you left out the part about how you DROVE into 135 and wrecked yourself then afterwards you stormed over to his pit like you were going to do something about it then you seen Chuck Longbrake and hightailed it out of there. Accidents happen in racing, some handle them good, some people make fools out of themselves.

Nico did a nice job in the futures cup race, nice to see one of our guys win it!

Norris was fast.... but barely hanging on to it, Charlier was fast and very much in control of his ride.

You sure know a lot about everyone on here, why dont you tell us a little bit about yourself, or will you retain your "creep" card for a little while longer?
