What happened to Mahdavi?

[Jaimecbr900]

When i have huge sponsors like roper pumps, ill make alot more races!!!
But naw i was just wondering how a supra goes from a mid 8sec car in one team,leave and can barely bust out a 9sec pass, i guess it racing!!

Yeah, it's funny how that works like that. It's almost like.....I'll just leave it alone.

And jaime just becasue u make one more NDRA event then me dont mean anything, there was a few races i didnt see you at last year that mahdavi was at, that just called having a family and having to stay home. so before you question my loyatly about racing dont, becasue that just dumb,im a single car NO SPONSORS trying to make it as many races as i can,so before you go on this rant why i wasnt there.i just wasnt . making money comes before racing!!!

You made the comment about the shirt I was wearing and I answer it. Who's getting defensive now?

Trust me, I know all about family first. Believe me I know. I just think that it's instigating when you are going based off what you heard from only one camp and making assumptions. That's how the BS drama starts and festers. I actually went over to Yamil and told him they had a great run. I wasn't a bad sport about it at all. There's no beef between me and anyone at all. I just don't think it's fair to report something from only one side.....UNLESS you are in fact instigating, which you said you weren't. That was my point.

So was Dan sad he got put on the trailor by a new driver?

Would any racer be happy they lost? Again, this is just instigating IMO.

Why would mahdavi protest over a battery?

#1. Because it's ILLEGAL in our class.
#2. Because it's ILLEGAL in our class.
#3. And finally because it's ILLEGAL in our class.

You want me to list out the times they protested Sam in the last 3 yrs alone?

you think having a bigger battery is a power adder!!!! Man that some sneeky stuff right there,you loose to a racer then you protest becasue a battery!! WOW!!

So in your book it's "sneaky" to protest something that is very clearly specified in NHRA's rule book that is ILLEGAL to use in our class???? So what do you consider using ILLEGAL equipment??? Smart? Cool?

Whatever. WE didn't make up the rules. NHRA did. We were ALL told very clearly and specifically that tech rules would be way more strict this year due to NHRA affiliation. They went on and on about how there were going to be far more cars DQ'd at tech and we'd better read and follow the rules. Most of our prep hours in the last month have been spent, not in figuring out how to cheat, but in buying thousands of dollars worth of additional equipment to be sure and both cars be compliant with all the things that last year was "ok" and this year they're cracking down on.

Now, tell me that after YOU spend thousands of dollars and countless hours of wrench time putting those parts on just to be legal.....then your competitor gets a "bye" on those same rules YOU are following....How would YOU feel? The rules should apply to everyone equally. IF all of a sudden it's "ok" to do something that is CLEARLY and very BLACK AND WHITE IN THE RULE BOOK that is NOT allowed in your class just because the techs "missed it" or because you have to protest before elimination rounds start (even though we had no way of knowing anything before that), then what good are the rules? I mean, if the tech misses it.....your competitors who are busy working on their own cars miss it ......and you make it to the elimination round......WOO HOO!!! suddenly you're some how "LEGAL" for eliminations?????? Whatever. I saw myself where racers got PULLED from the water box and DQ'd....DURING eliminations......over Carbon Fiber!!!! (which is not even in the rulebook for that class to begin with!).

Bottomline is that you can't be a "little" pregnant, right? You either are or you're not. Right? So, the same should apply to the rules. You either are legal or you're not. A "little" illegal is BS. People don't mind losing. People do mind losing AND then the rules don't apply to them too. Again, if it happened to YOU I'm certain that you'd look at it different. Beat me straight up w/o cheating and I'll shake your hand.

No offense Jamie, but im sure AAP didnt go there planning or even think about cheating. A battery is something i would never check or even think about,a battery is a battery to me!!

Im sure AAp dont or have to sit around thinking on ways to cheat, they have proven there selfs alot already.
I will tell you this AAp didnt even tell me anything, i have alot of friends that where there racing, and called with updates.
I just tought it was funny they would protest after they lost, why not do it before? Per NHRA and NDRA at the last drivers meeting they told us if where going to protest a car do it before the event starts not too do it after we lost or after qualifying! so too me that was sneeky and that wasnt being a fair challenger!!
But it is whatever, im sure thru out the year cars will be put on the trailor again!Its just one race.And obviously it wasnt iLLEgal like you say since Glenn Allowed them to continue!

It's not just a "battery". The reason its illegal is because when you run a 16V setup you don't have to run an alternator AND you can run hotter components like ignition, both of which are indeed "power adders". Again, I didn't make it ILLEGAL. NHRA did.

The point is not if they did it on purpose or not. The point is that if they made such a big deal about telling the drivers to READ the rules and make sure they follow them, then "oops, I didn't know" doesn't cut it.

I will tell you this AAp didnt even tell me anything, i have alot of friends that where there racing, and called with updates.

We didn't find out about the 16V thing until someone else told us too. The only time I went over to their pits was to congratulate them on their run and ask them what lane they wanted. That's it. I wasn't looking nor noticed anything when I was there. Bottomline, in this case, is that the person that told us was exactly right. They did have a 16V setup in the car.

I just tought it was funny they would protest after they lost, why not do it before? Per NHRA and NDRA at the last drivers meeting they told us if where going to protest a car do it before the event starts not too do it after we lost or after qualifying! so too me that was sneeky and that wasnt being a fair challenger!!

What's funny is that YOUR sources obviously aren't as good as you think they are, because it certainly WAS reported A: as soon as it was told to us, and B: BEFORE we even came to the staging lanes TO run. So your source is dead wrong about the timing. Matter of fact, when Bear came over to tell us they were going to let them run anyway we hadn't even been called up to the staging area. It was a good 30 mins later that we got ready and went up there to run them. So, yes sir it was certainly reported WAYYYY before we ever even thought about running anybody.

At this event's driver's meeting they repeated everything you are saying, with the exception of the "before qualifying" thing. Matter of fact, the only stipulation they verbally outlined was that the protest had to be done BEFORE the run. That's fine, fair, and obvious. I totally agree with that. That's what was done. BEFORE the run. But then we were told, "oops, we forgot to tell you that it's before the run AND before qualifying too..". What I don't agree with is that if you're found to have ILLEGAL equipment on the car, they let you run anyway just because THEY missed it at tech or because it's after qualification round. What's that got to do with the price of tea in China? So, if I get by the techs....I make one pass and qualify.....I can put my car up in the trailer until elimination round.....where I then COULD add whatever the hell I want and my car is still "legal"???? Does that make sense to you? So, I could put a bigger turbo I have laying around in the trailer or add different fuel or hell, let's drop a V8 we may have laying around too.....after all, it got by the techs (who tech'd the car 2 days ago) and I qualified, so it's all good????

But it is whatever, im sure thru out the year cars will be put on the trailor again!Its just one race.And obviously it wasnt iLLEgal like you say since Glenn Allowed them to continue!

Again, your sources aren't very good. Bear made the call and not Glenn.

I guess you're not going to get it until it happens to you. That's fine. But I will say this: They were consistent about being inconsistent, because it happened to a Pro team and a FWD team too. The Pro team, who'll remain nameless, was REALLY pissed about it too. He said the exact same thing I'm saying here. He was pissed because someone protested them for something and he busted his butt and changed it. When he turned around and protested someone, they told him the same thing that we were told...which was basically, "oops, we didn't catch it, so we'll WARN them to change it for the next race..." He wasn't given that choice when the shoe was on the other foot, according to him. This is the reason why if someone is out of compliance, then that's it for that race. Otherwise you'll have other people looking at it as it not being fair.

I mean, how can you use one rule to justify overlooking another rule from the SAME DAMN BOOK? Makes no sense at all, does it? Where does it stop then?

I guess that Nhra/NDRA racing for you! And im sure since this was the 1st race of the season too say they did let some thing pass by, gee we all cant be perfect 1st round thru. But im sure they will fix the problem and be back out there.
I guess in Atco we can all look forward to seeing



I will try to be ther for that race, well see how it goes before then..

[B18c1Turboed]

I guess I can agree with you on that. It was the first real race. You're right. I'll chalk it up to adjusting. Still not right......<------couldn't resist.

Dude, you need to stop believing everything you read on the net. Seriously.

Sam didn't even run ONE round of elimination at all. His car dropped a valve on his last qualification pass, which was that 9.9 pass. He never ran Johnny at all. Again, that's why you shouldn't believe everything you hear.

I tought so, but thats NDRA for you!!! ANd i dont belive everything i read online, its so funny how you defend them like there is no life, but i guess we all need groupies in are teams!!

Please Danny, how many times have YOU not gotten heated about someone talking about your boys???? You want me to pull out some links????

[quickdodge®]

Now that this has died down between you two, I wouldn't be QD if I didn't say this:

It's quite hypocritical of you to point out the same thing that you're doing. In fact, you originated this thread to groupie up on the team of your choice So you're right. "We all" do "need groupies in are teams!!"

Lolol. You know I'm fuccing with ya, lolol. Later, QD.
