Any one hear about this? Im going for sure any one else? Turned out to be ok but... Ryan did all he could to get BL and the others to run but the tech guy was a not havin it. Here is a post from ryan. Kean, SW, Chris, Justin, Stacey Barnett, and everyone else who was actually here knows how much I did to try and get their cars to race.
"All of you bitching and pointing fingers have no idea what really happened and should shut the fuck up.
At the last minute I arranged to get BOTH of the BL cars CERTIFIED by our NHRA guy. BOTH BL cars were at his place to get certed and BOTH CARS FAILED THE INSPETION. The cages were not built to NHRA spec therefore they failed. 2in belts in a 7.70 car doesn't fly. Not having 6x6 plates does not fly either. Having a cut off switch INSIDE a trunk instead of outside doesn't pass tech either. I can go on but it would be pointless. Oh and having belts 5 years expired doesn't help much either.
We tried everything we could to get the BL cars down the track. At the end of the day the track did not want to be liable for having the cars go down and not pass tech.
I TALKED TO ALL THE BL GUYS AND SW BEFORE THEY LEFT TX AND TOLD THEM TO GET THEIR LICENSES AND CAGE CERTS DONE FOR AZ. I told them I could arrange to get the cages certed here and I did. I did everything I could but I have no control over the cars not being legal.
If the ones bitching want to blame me for that then go ahead. They knew before they got here I wanted them to have cage certs and licenses for this race and even arranged to get their cars certed here just for this race."
