I'm sure glad I can watch World Cup Finals coverage edited down on Youtube, because the XFWD class Hondas make this event seem like a clown show. Literally exploding the engine and oiling down the track every other run (some teams brought 3 engines and burned through all of them before eliminations), or burning everyone down on the tree taking an eternity to bump in.

That was his third engine he blew up in qualifying.

Time for some oil down fines like NHRA does to top fuel.

Yeah, I like PFI Speed, but that's ridiculous. "Well, everyone's got their car turned up to the edge because they want to win." Huh, seems like maybe you'd do more winning with a conservative tune, since everyone else is blowing their junk up. Ya know, to finish first you must first finish and all that jazz.

Squirrels got into my attic and did all kinds of damage. Good thing my Border Collie finally got them before I had to call the roofers again.

WC will kind of toss you out of competition.

There were an amazing amount of oil downs and many cars on their roofs not to mention lots of wall hits.

I know 1320Video said that the XFWD took 3 hours to do six qualifying runs because every other run a Honda exploded the engine. They also chewed the hell out of the starting line, and it took forever to fix the prep for the next class. Reportedly the event organizers are talking about doing something with XFWD because of how bad they were this year. Either moving their class, and just their class, to the weekend before, or doing literally every other class on Thursday-Friday-Saturday and reserving Sunday just for the XFWD cars.

Also Jamie from PFI a couple years ago. Hit 80psi:

I stopped going to Import Wars at the local track because of all the Hondas blowing their stock axles. They can go like a bat out of hell, especially on the big end but not if you don't build them right.
