The evil Ranchero was a no-show at the Grove today handing the Gasser A class to BS' own Squirrel, Jim Forbes if, no when he makes it back to St. Louis. In addition he is competing with a sealed hood because his straight axle and missing fenderwells give him pretty open access anyway. Not one to take the easy way he wowed the troops by removing the blower and servicing it through the closed hood. This caused Bruab to call him the smartest guy on drag week and perhaps the whole country.

Anybody who builds underwater robots that end up in a movie is bound to be smart beyond all regular definitions of smart. And rules are rules, and by that description he didn't break them. Kinda like Junior Johnson on steroids sort of smart. YAY Jim!Charter member of the Turd Nuggets

The sealed hood, is it meant to say "no work on the motor" or just to be a pain is the ass to the entrant in keeping the car going?
And well done, hope the next two days go as good.Last edited by 65RHDEER; September 16, 2015, 05:58 PM.Tim

I love that. In the spirit of all the rules. Squirrell didn't cheat, and I love that, too.Charter member of the Turd Nuggets

I hope this isn't a derail (this is about Jim, after all) but years ago at Maxton Keith said "If you can get up in the morning and look yourself in the mirror knowing you've cheated to get whatever record you now hold - what kind of man ARE you?" Not the kind Jim or I want to be. I carry that with me.
