I am more then a little surprised that none of the drivers @ Sunset have bothered to find out how a Honda 12V that made around 80 hp with a carb can pull a 16 V efi Honda down the straits . I also wonder if no one @ Sunset owns a tape measure to check the track width of a car since i have never seen a FWD car with positive offset rims except the Burrows car .
I have never seen Dave walk away with a race as a result of his 12 valve 76 h.p. rocket engine pumping out a 100+ h.p.
All the B.S. started with a new car showing up that did not meet the weight criteria, All Honda's at Sunset, "ALL" have to weigh 2300 lbs. Barrie lets you run 2000.
John Ince was extremely competitive in his 12 valve at 2300 lbs.
This weight rule was overlooked for 4 or so weeks untill they decided to do something about it. If you think for one minute that it was only one guy barkin' to the tech staff about it think again, I guarantee you there were at least 10 or 12 drivers down there making a point about it.
Offset rims on the left of your car, again a no no at Sunset, may be allowed elswhere but if you are going to run there you can't have them.
I know what it is like to be quick and have every guy that can't beat you piss and moan about your gear, it's going to happen and you better make damn sure your gear is straight up and meets the rules or they will have something to rake your ass about.
We had 5 guys running for the top spot last year all of them had and still have a tremendous amount of respect for one another, and never once did any of these 5 have to run to tech, the owner or otherwise to get them to referee this crap.
It has just got out of hand, last year was fun, even for the tech guys they did not have to get in the middle of all the crap, if they had an issue with one of us they made us fix it, or penalized us for it. If any of the drivers had an issue we sorted it out ourselves without any problems.
Lets just get at it this weekend, drop the crap race hard and race clean and lets see who comes out on top.
