Anything from Boyds

[ozzie 35]

Like I said, the car owner said he would have the exact same muffler shipped to the tech man to compare the muffler on the 27 from last night to prove it was untouched, tech man refused the offer.

I guess the tech guy figured that two decisions was enough.Go 53

[stevo]

The tech man can order any type he wants, or a car owner can order either kind,so that don't prove anything they used to use a loud meter?

[old7flags]

Does this mean Ray Cook is cancelling his Spring Nationals race in May to even the score?

[cook53fan]

The decibel meter wasn't used to test how loud the 27 was. They had no proof that it could be louder than 100db. That question was asked and the tech man said he could tell how loud it was but there was no proof. And for everyone saying they were cheated up is wrong. I saw them myself and I can tell you they weren't! They werent the hush power or schoenfelds so the tech guy said it was wrong.

Who in the heck is 27 anyway?

[cook53fan]

Ray Cook was driving the 27 for Charlie Parker in the steel head race.

A. Mufflers are MANDATORY. SCH112530 or SCH112535 are legal. Use of Hush power muffler part#13012100 or 13512100 receives 50 lb. weight break. B. Exhaust is not permitted out sides of car body. Exhaust must be parallel to the ground. C. Dirt Pro Mufflers are prohibited due to manufacturers claims stating the inability to meet required DB levels.

They banned Beyea mufflers too.

[cook53fan]

There is an "unwritten" decibel rule. Tech man said it must be under 100 decibels no matter what muffler.

I have a question.Rays mufflers was protested by another driver?That was a visual protest right? he wanted to visualy look at them?Go to the steel head rules it plainly says all visual protest must be made before the race.... meaning spoiler height,tire protest, check for muffler brand or look inside to see if they have been welded up.you get the picture.The only protest that should be allowed after the race would be a decibal check... better yet the track should have checked the mufflers before hot laps .it suck when you race all night and get done like this the guys a few places back have the same mufflers on and probb some people won in other class with the same mufflers and get there wins and money...

[cook53fan]

Tech man said that the mufflers are always checked after the race. And it's not a visual protest. That question was asked during the dq discussion. Ray had called the track a week before the race and he was told to bring the car with the mufflers that were on it! I personally think it was about protecting the locals. I heard a big sponsor of some local cars was doing the most complaining.

[ga racer]

not sure what local they were protecting, the win went to a pheonix city alabama driver.

[matdaddy]

owner of car is local?

[madman90]

At least he has a name.Ray cook didn't win because of a muffler , he won because he is a better driver.

RAY COOK WAS TOLD ADD 50 LBS AND ACTUALLY ADDED 75 BEFORE THE RACE BECAUSE GAR (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)SON KNEW WHAT MUFFLER HE HAD. HE WEIGHT 2430 AFTER THE RACE.

[cook53fan]

And he only had to weigh 2300...pretty sure a muffler wasnt what beat the 22.
