I thought they were not supposed to prebend the hobo cars,i saw most of them were bent and one looked wedge. Nick bagged n cheated im glad to c that they claimed his motor and it got taken. I looked at it b4 the derby and u could tell it wasnt a stock motor but they let him run it anyway the inspectors shoulda never let it in to brgin with,and what was with all the drivers door hits that were nit called?

What would have happened if he would have just loaded up and left and not sold the engine? Is it just like racing where you lose your prize money?

Here's the deal. You participate in the Hobo class, you are giving consent to the claim and sale of your engine/transmission. Races are different because they don't "take out" their competition. They just drive away from them.
We do not have parameters for engines other than GM to GM and Ford to Ford. If somebody wants to run a $10,000 engine, that's fine by me, but it's getting claimed like we saw last night. So to say we shouldn't let a car run because the engine is high horsepower is just not how it works.
It was a good show in my opinion considering the track was muddy. 43 cars is very impressive.

Maybe I will have time to get the bolts out that got dropped in the intake and get it put in the wife's car for Overbrook! I am going to start bringing a cherry picker with me that way if anyone wants to borrow it they can or heck I would even let someone use it to pull one of my motors or maybe just let the whole car go for 600 and be money ahead.

I decided it wasn't any of my business. I was not involved and I dont know all the facts, just what i saw and heard.... I do not want to take away from the show, I thought it was great.

Great job! The crowd seemed to enjoy them selves!

I wasnt at the show, building my new derby shop is taking alot of time, but ive thought all along the claim rule was going to cause problems, i heard about the nuts down the intake and turned over, and trying to blow it in the pits. If i was the guy that claimed it id be pissed,but a $10,000 motor doesnt win you any derbys if all cars are chain only. This mess will get worse. I understand the hole keep it a stock class and hope it does happen, but somtime down the road its going to happen again and it will get worse. Dont allow 3speeds or anything like that but the engine as long as its the same make shouldnt matter, just my opinion whatever thats worth

He knew he could loose it so why put it in the car if was worth more than 600. He jus thought nobody would say nething mayb next time he will read the rules better. He has the money to build a winning 80s car. So y run a hobo n try to break the rules. Hopefully the promoter keeps the claim rule n the hobo class can continue tp get bigger and less ppl will try to break the. I salute the johnson's for doing what they did great job.

no matter what you say i think he is a PUNK to claim someones engine.. If i was nick i would of told him to go fuck himself. stock or built! a bone stock m/t would cost more to build than $600. but its not about money its just a bitch move.... just my two cents..
