assistant: I think you are from the states.  I am in Toronto, and here it is legal
to listen to what ever we want.  In the past I have seen at least a
dozon people who have scanners to listen to the drivers and other
operations people.  Even the televisions people use scanners to listen
to the driver.  You here them making references to some radio
communications that just occured.  And you better believe it that the
other pit crews are listening to the compitions.  That is why sometimes
they talk in code.

class?
I am interested in starting in these but need more informaton as to what
sort of licences I need, and what sort of things my car may or may not have
on it.
Currently it is a 1978 Mini clubman with 45DCOE Weber, a 1275GT
block/head/gearbox, 3-2-1 extractors to a 2 inch pipe through a resonator
and then a 3 inch tip. I am planning to buy a racing cam before long as
well, but am not sure whether the car will still be road legal.

disappearance IMMEDIATELY after the NHRA started probing around the pits for
nitrous ?? How do you explain that they were the only two experiencing fires

 Nope, never convince me of it.

On the coverage we get they sometimes listen to Michael Andretti and his pit
crew and I would imagine that the team would watch the same coverage as us.
So I guess they would here what is happening sometimes I guess. You see the

Actually, Nitros is allowed in one class I do believe. Haven't checked the
"Federal Mogul Dragster" rules in awhile, but a few years (back then just
called Top Alcohol) ago a team was running a dual motored, carburated on
racing gas with Nitros boost, it was allowed. They did not run it too often
as it was prone to nitros backfires... real noisy occasions :>
As for IHRA, Nitros is allowed in both Top Sportsman and Pro Mod I believe.
At least I think the name is Top Sportsman, it's a dial in class just below
the ranks of ProMod. They also have that new class now called Nitro Coups...
that one is really neat to watch.

They left because of personal reasons.  The Dodge Boys were never proven to
be running nitrous.  They have been racing since a lot this year, not having
fire coming out of the carb, and are winning titles.  So, how do figure they
were running illegally and winning when they are winning right now.
The dodge boys didn't race because their engines were trashed, and they had
to take the time to rebuild their engines and their back-up engines.  If I
had the Mopar Performance newsletter nearby that explained their long
absence, I would look it up.  But I'm not sure where it is off hand.

assistant: I have seen the sprint cars race, and I think they are the worse racing there
is.  I couldn't wait until they were done.  In fact, they took so long to
finish a race a couple of years at the IMCA Super Nationals, that they said
they would give them until the next yellow to finish the race.  The next
yellow flag, would be their final placement for that race.  Everybody in the
stands and the pit side was glad when they pulled off the track so that the
IMCA Stock cars, and modifieds could get on with their racing.
Sprint cars are among the most dangerous cars on the track.  They rank right
up there with funny cars, rails, and Indy cars.  There was a driver killed a
couple of years ago in Knoxville, IA, his car rolled, the roll cage broke and
a piece of it went THROUGH his helmet.  He had a wife and 4 small children.
One was less than a year old.
There is a local racing show that covers Knoxville every week.  I mute that
part because I have absolutely no interest in Sprint cars.  If I had a choice
between going to watch sprint cars and NASCAR.  I'll go to a NASCAR race.

 Proven is the key word.
 They are not dominating like they were. They are not having the fires (you
mentioned them) that they were. Both are excellent drivers.
 I thought you said it was because Wayne County left and for personal
reasons. Please, one story at a time. Remember anything about the garage and
the "damage" that was done ??
I have Kenny Faulk, husband of Amy Faulk, former world champ in TAD. Also pit
crew chief and running an NHRA campaign in Super Stock this season in Greg
Hill's Firebird. They were running nitrous according to the pit talk. They
got out because the Mopar engine they were using did NOT run with the big
boys. I can give you Kenny's shop number and you can call and ask him about
it if you want to. :)
