Jason Line won the Sox & Martin Hemi challenge at Indy on friday. He's one of a few that builds his own engines. Guess he can build more than chubbies.

Good for him!

When I was stationed at King Salmon Alaska in the USAF around 1990, he lived down the hall in the dorm from me. I think at that time he was a Buick guy. Fast forward several years later, one day while I was watching some drag racing event I saw him on TV. Pretty cool to see a guy I knew before he became "famous".

I just saw the video where Herbs' son says both finalists were disqualified by NHRA tech post-race
and that they're going to take 1st and 2nd place prize money and evenly split it amongst the other
14 racers.
What was the DQ for on the finalists?

I saw the interview with Bruno, on FS1 last night/yesterday
after he won the 'Hemi challenge' 8.20 something @ 160+
for a real (within the rules of a real S/SH) S/SH 68 Hemi 'cuda
he built the engine (435cid, not some near 600cid deal) gen 2 Hemi
& he drove/tuned, but it's someone else's car

Jason Line you could tell he was getting all emotional,
during the time he was talking about Ken Black/the KB,
of KB/Titan racing (w/Greg Anderson & others)
he almost broke down too

very cool he won...

I always like him, good guy

That sucks, I wonder what the 'rules infraction' was...

Jason Line doesn't strike me as a type to cheat,
especially when he doesn't need to

Still waiting on that. I heard one was carburetors. Shocking!

I was thinking maybe fuel/brand or type, maybe light/oxygenated (spell)
they are really tough of fuels now

He does have plenty Mopar experience from years past. So not surprising.

Too bad. I was happy to see him win it.
I guess he didn't use a Mopar "rubber crank" when he built it.

Makes you wonder if all of the cars in the field have some miniscule infraction.

I think Mike came up with a nice solution since NHRA didn't want to run the #3 and #4 cars for the win.

They had a feature on the tv coverage on Sunday with Jason Line winning. After the announcement of no winner, I don't think they even mentioned the Hemi Shootout in any of their other broadcasts.
