MAN you must have you head so far up Bernsteins a$$ its unbelivable.
You are right his chances of making the field @ the Winternationals have greatly improved If the #'s from the finals where used a .79 would land them a 14th or 15th spot and I may be very wrong and you seem to be making this personal but I still believe that he will still DNQ.

Re: How Will Bernstein Do ?

I saw Thursday sometime around 12:30 ish, The Monster car go about 300' and break something in the rear end maybe?, that sounded god aweful. I was the only fan in the stands for that run. Camera phones dont have that kind of range, lol.

Re: How Will Bernstein Do ?

What i found quite funny is after ray alley trying all that rev limiter and lower nitro crap he is now going to want to try and get the car to go as fast as possible to beat everyone , Kind of contradicting what he was trying to do as head of the nitro classes

Even if he doesn't qualify, he'll get plenty of TV time to plug his sponsors, while a more deserving team gets pushed aside so we can hear about Monster/Dodge/Etc.

I hope Ashley gets plenty of TV time though.

Re: How Will Bernstein Do ?

Well KB is down to only tomorrow (Sat) to make the field.. and he hasn't even come close....

Either they (His Team) are totally lost on the set up.. or he's just had bad luck... Also the pressure on John Force is on the way up... I'd hate to see him DQ for the first time in over 300 races when his daughter gets in...

I'd love to see JF race AF in the final.....

From where I stood today Kennys car had major clutch chatter....Motor is there but the bellhousing settings seemed way off. Phil (who does Kennys bellhousing) said they broke six primary levers....its very challenging...I saw Jim Head over there this evening....

hummmm...... regardless of what you may think I do know a little bit about what I am talking about. with that being said,

Kudos to KB it was a valiant 4th round effort, as being in the same situation as part of TF team it REALLY SUCKS I know

Just a lucky guess....would you have guessed that Del would be sitting on his scooter come Sunday as well?

Re: How Will Bernstein Do ?

whatever.... and this was about how KB does, any comments on how Del would do would be irrelevant at this point and I hate to see Del starting out this way.

I do feel that my statement that KB will DNQ atleast the first 8 will be wrong a 4.84 on a Nat. prep track may get them the base they need to get in the show @ PHX.

..Your second wish came true. Yeah, Team Force had some drama, but definiately not enough to warrant the lion's share of airtime that did beat up on Skytel and Monster....

Re: How Will Bernstein Do ?

Thursday, Friday and the first session on Saturday he could get past 300' without having to shut it down and then the last session bingo 4.84 and still didn't make the show what a bummer!

A pretty FC is like a piece if candy, you never know whats inside.. yup KB's car is nice looking, but I bet he'd rather have had an old gray primer car with dings and glue all over it and Qualified # 10!
