Re: Bill Thomas Race Car's Retribution II getting air
Rick,
A couple of incidents that I have heard about was after winning the Winternationals he was disqualified because of the heads on the 62 409. DH's car had the valves ground several times to freshen their sealing ability, which left them recessed, creating more volume, or as we know CC's? Their claim was that more volumn was an illegal advantage, while actually it was creating less compression. Another incident, was his losing a gas cap and stuffing a rag in the filler neck to keep gas from pouring onto the track. He was disqualifed for this as their claim to a safety issue. I don't think he had any problems until he started to become a crowd favorite and eliminating some of the major names of the sport? I think DH felt this, therefore made his decision?

Strange how they would pick on a crowd favorite...you would think it should be the other way around...

Re: Bill Thomas Race Car's Retribution II getting air
The story I heard! It was Dale Pulde driving the Car. The irony of this is that Dale lives with Dick Harrell's daughter. WOW I don't know if that's true but it makes a damm good story. Kim
