don't let this issue stop you. its very isolated.
they did have a dyno and used it for the 2 qual races. but since he made no more than 1 lap durring each of those, he was not impounded and not dyno'ed. as for post Championship impound - it was nothing more than weight and a visual inspection. there were a number of post race issues that was having to be addressed like a really botched start w/ no restart, passing under yellow, contact from the start and durring the race..... bla bla bla. there were also the tipical problems w/ rules interpretations you see when regions race together for the first time, like the legality of wheel spacers, rear spoilers, front spoilers, wheels sticking out of the fenders, cars w/ low vacuum at idle, incorrectly filled out dyno tech sheets.... bla bla bla. all of these issues have been addressed since then and are likely to not be a problem this year. Nationals 2006 was fullo f growing pains. i felt that this was part of that.
this guy who is the point of this tangent drives in the National Directors region. i'm sure these lessons have been learned by him and i don't expect to see these type of issues again.
as much as i would like to see me and Jeff B #1/2 in 2006, i think we were both surprised w/ being #2/3. lets see what happens this year. are we unhappy that it looks as though we were cheeted? sure, but hey, we moved on. we know that what we did was done 100% by the book.
