How is that possible?? Oh right, they'll go to the 9 second guys that can't go faster than 10 seconds. Also read how loosely the rules were enforced last year for tech and fuel. Check out www.hotrod.com and click on the message board link on the left.

Ya already read that on their site. Hopefully this year they will tighten it up a little

Interesting threads on that message board. I think they should test the fuel at the conclusion of the racing, ample room for cheating. Or do random testing with a protest rule.

My concern would be that, imagine a small cell with C16 in there.

It's going to be especially difficult to catch-considering that everyone's hood will be closed for the duration of the racing.

Hell, they ask you how you are going to cheat on the application.. I answered truthfully, I told them exactly how I plan to cheat

I told them I wouldn't need to

Now I'm thinking I'm going to need to

They say everyone in the field has went 9.99 or faster and 10 are claiming 8's. I'll be curious to see how far these guys drop off running pump gas or how many of them grenade their motors for some bragging rights

My thoughts exactly! Kinda BS when you choose a car that normally runs 13:1 compression on race gas, then they de-tune it for this race and run nowhere near what they "claimed" for ET. I told them I planned on cheating by armor-alling the tires all over, waxing the car for extra wind-cheating, and maybe going on a diet. Not all that creative I guess

I had "is it still cheating if I tell someone?" on mine. The fact that I didn't have a legit time to put down probably didn't help me either.
