I was wondering about this myself.
Part of me thinks if a component can't take it or if every run you are swapping out a engine/tranny (then that's a little too much, can't afford to do that in real life), but that being said ALL componenents have a life span. Do you penalize a guy who runs 100 passes at the drag strip, 200 sled pulls, 100 dyno runs, tows a trailer daily and then gets to the DPC and a component lets go just because of wear and tear (didn't Matt Gainer lose a hub which some could argue cost him the DPC?). If he got it fixed it would have been interesting.
In most forms of motorsports, if your rig breaks and you can fix it before the next run, you're good to go. I've seen truck pullers pop a boot, break locking hubs, etc during their run and have it fixed before the pull-off and run again. Even NASCAR lets you fix things in pit stops and if you can do it under caution and not lose much ground you are good to go (and guys have even won after).
Fixing things is part of motorsports (it sounds like Tim had an issue with his nitrous system but was able to work on it after the dyno). Things wear, and things break, I do agree though that if guys are replacing a transmission or engine after every event if one has deep enough pockets (and this has nothing to do with what's been said in this thread) than that is excessive.
The hard part is coming up with a "rule" as to what is excessive and what's not.
As to the other "stuff" in this thread, I don't know Dimitri but I can honestly say I'm impressed with his (and his friends) accomplishments, but I do know Tim and he would not "make up things", he stated what he saw and drew a conclusion. If his conclusion was wrong just let him know, he is a smart guy. You getting defensive does not look good and quite honestly the way the light reflects off the rollers on that bearing, it could be an optical allusion or the way the shop lighting is, but it looks like it has a "wave" to it....definitely no taco though. Before I read what was being said/inferred I opened this thread up and saw the pic, I looked at it, saw what looked like a wave and thought someone was posting a pic of it because it had failed.
If it's fine, then I was wrong and willing to admit it, just like Tim but it would seem a logical conclusion just based on a quick visual (which can be misleading). I know it's a competition and tensions are high, but I guarantee Tim would help anyone there and would not intentionally start rumors.
Good luck to you both.
3) no nitrous, meth, propane, or natual gas allowed. Water with no meth would be allowed for cooling.
with all this bs going around i have forgotten something, could you kindly remind me.. who is leading again?thank god "Godzilla" took a dump for the other fords guys could use it for a parts truck. :roflmao:

Yeah, pog must like to be the *ed instead of the *er if he thinks the name is a reason to be mad.Better than his username being teabagged2006 lol...at least he was doing the teabagging :hug::roflmao:
Whats the difference of using it at the dpc and using it at a diesel event you go to. If this is how it should be in dpc then lets make it that way at all the events. That would mean maxd out could't use spray. Who cares what people use or how much they do use.
Yes Dimitri can be an asshole, but he has helped me out in the diesel world even when I ran a dodge.
Said he won the obstacle course...but can't find any results for that one, minus saying he won it with a 1 min flat with no deductions, but nothing for anyone else.
Ok everyone please dont take this the wrong way!!!!! But some of you have just the hardest god dam time understanding we doooooooo not run dyno numbers on the track!!!!!!!
