6.17 The FULL Insider Story of The Great Charlotte Intake Manifold Controversy

Apr 30, 2024

On this
monologue style episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast, host Brian
Lohnes takes you step by step through the crazy happenings on
Saturday at the Charlotte 4-Wide Nationals involving Bob Tasca’s
team, the tech department, and what was determined to be an illegal
intake manifold. It is a story with some interesting twists and
turns, some truly big implications, and one that, at least in
Lohnes’s view, actually happened at the right time. 

This
recounting of events takes us through the discovery of the problem
which was revealed live on air to Lohnes and Tony Pedregon during
the NHRA Insider LIVE, the ensuing social media craziness, why the
intake was illegal, and how the whole thing shook out. 

This is not
just a retelling of events, it is a breakdown on the hows and whys
of everything that happened on that very interesting day. This is
as insider as it gets.
