Got protested at Atco in the late 60's with my 67 Pontiac stocker after winning 3 weeks in a row. Torn down by their tech crew (not NHRA's) after eliminations. The guy checking my cam put masking tape around my 6" balancer, carefully marked .010 open and .010 closed on the tape with a pen, removed the tape, placed it around a 8" degree wheel, measured the duration and whispered to me that I was leaving a lot on the table since my cam was about 30 degrees short of maximum. Bob Duffy was there and had to go outside to contain his amusement.
