Revelation Pro dq
|
Anyone know why Revelation Pro was Dq'd Saturday night? If the announcer said, I didn't hear.
Thanks |

Really??
I sure don’t recall his run being any more excessive than lots of other guys with some water sloshing out the ice box. I hope it was something else… I know there’s gotta be some rules about putting down excessive fluids, but it sure doesn’t get brought up or enforced very often. This one could’ve cost him a BG ring had Meyer come up a few spots short. Woulda been a bad deal if a judgment call on the definition of “excessive” had ended up costing them in that spot…if that’s what the call was. |

It’s interesting
|
Revelation Pro’s loss of fluid wasn’t any worse than injected funds loss of fluids and nothing was said about that? Is it more of a favoritism ordeal here?? Remember he was DQ’d the night before in the pull off too I believe???
Also what about pull offs and Corey Hastings getting multiple attempts in the pull off? In the SSD 4x4 class? |

No one dropped the amount of fluid Revelation Pro did!! It actually affected the ability of the sled to grip the track. It happened right in front of us. |

Simple get rid of innercoolers. No more water loss, less parts, less work, less expense. Problem solved. |

Sounds Like

It sure sounds like some favoritism is going on???I go to about 25-30 pulls every year and I cant remember the last time that I saw a puller DQ'd for dumping fluids on the track...Believe me I've sure seen lots of water and oil left on the track..They just work it a few times and keep on pulling.. |

To Sounds Like, I believe last year at TPC they DQ'ed a Pro for excessive water. I think it was Brad Holzhauer. Some body correct me if I am wrong. |

Eye witness

It wasn't any worse than multiple other pros during the year, just had an itch to scratch with Link I guess. I also heard Lemke wasn't allowed to drop 6 Friday night. |

There's a lot of finger pointing going on here. But the reality is, let's pretend Revelation Pro didn't get DQ'd on Saturday night......he would have finished 6th and he still wouldn't have won the ring.
Congratulations to Brent Meyer on sweeping the weekend and rightfully earning a ring! |

My 2 cents worth is that the officials need to be consistant. If Link was not DQ'd on the first run, IMO, then they should of let it be on the second run. Maybe an official should of went up before the pulloff and told Link that if he looses that amount of water again, he will be DQ'd. Meyer did the same exact thing in rockwell and they did not DQ him. Like many on this string stated, many tractors loose fluids. Watch the mods go down the track, those breathers are pushing some serious oil out too. Again, just be consistent on your rulings. Please dont pick and choose. |

You are correct… Meyer beat him on distance both nights; so ultimately (thankfully), the DQs didn’t really affect the final outcomes of anything (other than purse money on Saturday night…which isn’t nothing I suppose).
I would need to go back and re-watch the two disallowed runs of Revelation Pro, but go look at the great winning photo that BB Pulling Videos posted on FB of Meyer taking the win with his arm in the air…and look at the amount of water spilling out the front. It’s nothing against the Injected Funds team…it’s just a really touchy issue to DQ a guy twice in a row in BIG spots on a rule that’s purely a judgement call on what’s “excessive” when lots of guys are regularly dumping water on the track; including the vehicle that won.

It looks like a lake under Injected Funds..Anyone have a picture of the Revelation Pro run where he got the DQ? |

That tractor dumped so much water on the track every pass it made, it most definitely greased the pan for more distance, it started a few feet off the line, not 50 feet from the end. |

Mc. The rule states " excessive moisture". Should not mater where on the track is happens. |

Some people do not like comparisons to other motorsports, but there is much to learn.
Years ago NHRA had problems with nitro cars leaking oil such that 1 qualifying session could last over 3 hours. They implemented a new policy. Maybe the first oildown is a freebie but after that it's fines and loss of points, with both increasing with more violations. There are containment systems that could be made just like many drag classes use. Perhaps it's time to start implementing a more concrete syatem for water leakage that relies less on tech official tolerance. What that looks like would be worked out between the stakeholders. It seems like if so many rules are up to one guy's interpretation, that opens the door to problems. |

In all cases, intercooler tank must have a gasketed lid with mechanical closing latch.
All other rules stay the same. Propose it for the meetings in a few weeks. CP |

Those pros pushing that water out is because they have a failed core and that’s 100+PSI going into that water tank…thru a 4-5 inch diameter pipe. |

Subjective Rules
|
Moderator Registered: 03/25/2008 Posts: 1,935 |
Sometimes rule that are subjective are just someone's opinion. One guy drops 1.1 gallons of water and the next guy drops 1.2 gallons, who can tell the difference? Those kind of decisions usually open up another can of worms. If the pullers drops water 2 feet from the end of the run and the next pullers drops the same amount 25 feet from the finish line do the officials view that both the same way? I realize making those type of calls always leaves one party not happy. I'm not entirely sure what the answer is, however I'm sure there is a solution, be it a pan to catch the fluid, have a way to measure the amount, eliminate the rule or let the on track officials make the call.

Like when my 6nz dropped a liner and was pushing water out the rad overflow when accelerating. |

Not that it changes the ring winner result so Kudos to the Injected Funds Team, but it sure seems like John Link got screwed. When is the last time you saw a DQ for water spillage on the track, at a SN event. Probably never.
I don’t know John personally but he must have pissed off some people at NTPA. I was at the pulll (and sober) and was super confused on why he got DQ’d at the time. I’m actually surprised there isn’t more outrage over this. Life goes on but Damn Gina. Dude pulled into 2nd place and got DQ’d towards the end of the class. Not cool. For reference, I’m a Blue fan so don’t really care about red or green in this instance. |

He pumped 15 gallons of water on the track, every pass he made. Excessive liquid loss while vehicle is making the pass. |

Was he DQ'd on every pass? Why not if it was excessive every time? |

On Friday Link and Meyer both pulled past 350ft...It looks like Link got the DQ during the pulloff..Did he dump more water on the 2nd hook than during the 1st hook?Did he still get 2nd place prize money? Mc said he dumped 15 gallons every pass..What good does an ice box do if it all ends up on the track....I wasnt there but people are saying that others dumped plenty of water too and got no DQ...How many gallons do you have to dump to get a DQ?There was a lake under Meyers tractor in the picture..Did he dump it all at the end? |

He was DQ'd 2 out of 3 and there's all this crying and BLATHER on here about it! Imagine how bad it would be if it was 3 out of 3. No one dumped near the water he did! Not even close! LOOK AT THE VIDEO!! It affected the ability of the sled to grip the track, that's an unfair advantage. So, DQ. |

excessive fluids
|
Registered: 04/04/2008 Posts: 1,782 |
Its the word "excessive " thats the issue to me.ive sat at the finish line there for 50 years and have never seen a dq for this reason.weve all seen gallons of water and oil both dumped on hooks in puddles and streams both,excessive to me can be minor to you.isnt excessive blowby also contain oil ?,and 100s of hooks have that ,this could be used to help or hurt any puller at any time |

Re: excessive fluids

containment
|
Years ago, there were rules for "containing excess fluid". Why did those containment devices disappear? |
