    Will we have to take our kiddy pool to pre-race tech now as well as my homemade MSD rev chips? Kind of ridiculous but maybe it will distract tech guy from noticing my hinged chassis that allows the car to fit in the trailer.

      Most of the issue was who was doing it not what they were doing

        I'd say there's probably a fair amount of truth to this. Very sad, but very likely

          Somehow cody and kiddie pools just seem to go together.

              I wonder if they will catch the wheels with two valve stems in them for circulating cold and warm air through them or putting several ounces of liquid nitrogen inside the tire. Super cools the tires under pace laps and evaporates into a gas that is already being used in the tire anyway. Undetectable unless you use too much and it frosts up the sidewall and makes tire brittle. Just took some testing to figure out the right amount for the pressure you want to end up at. These guys with kiddy pools and freezers are a couple years behind and that stuff takes up way to much space in the trailer.

                  the guys that are dominating right now are doing it with tires. it seems like they hit on something with the nlmt before the rest

                    Are you saying people are cheating tires or just cutting them better?

                        My guess is Francis and Schwalls have one eye on the pool boy any time he's in the pits.

                              I look at it this way. I agree that if it was someone else beside Cody this would not be that big of a deal. The 10 car did absolutely nothing to show he was so good in florida. There is a prime example, good equipment, good car chief, and yet the driver can't drive worth a crap.
