So, here's the thing that bothers me. For over 3 years I was the guy who would fire up the fuelers at the waterbox. As each pair was pushed up into place, I would look at quite a few things on each car like hans device and belts, blower restraints, CLUTCH CAN inspection cover bolts, parachute pins and attachments, fire bottles, etc.
I had a team ready to fire at the winternationals and while they're singing the national anthem I asked a crew guy where the bolts were in the inspection cover. It had only 2 bolts in it. Hell broke loose while they scrambled to get them out of a guy's pocket and on the can. They made it and they ran.
If they hadn't I would have told the starting line guys he wasn't running.
Langdon's car if it had the bolts in when they fired the car, should have been legal. if they came out during the run so be it "try to fix that problem".
By the way, Ashley's car had a lot of stuff missing at the end of that pair.


Just saying......

The Joliet race always gets called Chicago even though it's almost 60 miles away.

Shame it closed. Was the home track.The best of memories. We had the best of times.
