Fuel Modified Sports - /FMS

According to the SCTA website, the minimum for H/FMS is 165 MPH.

What am I missing?

Methinks it has something to do with pulling the publication of the records -- I understand they were farkled.

John,

The 2013 edition of the El Mirage Procedure Manual, in the back, where the minimums are listed shows the H/FMS min to be 130.000. Unbroken records in near classes are in the same lower speed. We site still needs work.

Lance,

Elmo is correct. The 05/13 relates to May 2013 meet.

The pulling of the records was my fault. I was premature in posting the corrected records from he original file. The  work is being done today to get the records on the SCTA-BNI website and then here.

OK, I was just looking at the SCTA website. So if the website and the EMP differ then the EMP wins.

Always. I work on the EMP, not the website.

I like getting the results as fast as the next guy but, I'd rather wait and have them right. God nose we have enough problems with the left wing news wanting to be first to blame B--h for everything in a matter of microseconds.
We waited 2-3 weeks in the "old" days and I'm happy to wait a few extra days even these immediate "gotta know now" generation. Thanks Dan for doing your best.........J.D.

I think the "news" is mostly right wing.  Far, far right.

But then again, there is a difference between "God Nose" and "God Knows".

Glad to see the Orange Show go back to dirt.  May have to go back.  Might even be as fun as the Super Modifieds were with Buick, Cad, and Chevy-powered Model As and 32s.

Miriam sent this link to me for the May 2013 EM results.  I'll just use the link -- maybe next month will go the extra step and post the results in full here.  But - thanks, Miriam.

Stan. 2 things...Some "can" read (it was a test). We are running at Orange Show next Saturday night. West Coast Street Stocks are the filler for the Midgets and Sprints....JD

Did anyone get any pictures or video of Harry Hoffman's blown fuel "v8" motorcycle?  That thing is nuts!  Harry is a prime example of the kind of innovation and ingenuity that makes our sport what it is.

I would love to see the same thing. I helped Harry make his pass on Saturday. The bike seemed to run out of fuel and I guess he didn't get it sorted out because I couldn't find him Sunday. It left the line plenty strong and you should hear it.  :-o That is one bichin bike and Harry is really cool. Wayno
