Where did it ever say you can cut into the hole but not on the top?
Anyway, besides all of that, Charlie, I have 2 simple questions for you.
#1 - At Indy 2012, did you go to teardown with your valve cover flange busted off?
#2 - At Indy 2012, did you have external modifications to the front of your heads like Comella had at the Dutch Classic?
According to the picture posted on Moparts, your valve cover flange has been machine so much that the flange is falling off. What good is the top of the hole if the flange is gone? And the one crappy repair you can see that the flange was poorly welded on and is clearly not welded back in place where it should be.
Wendell Howes stated that everyones valve covers should bolt onto each others heads. We clearly showed him as well as NHRA that you can still bolt on a factory valve cover to our heads with all 10 bolts. I can't say the same for yours being you have to bolt your valve covers to the intake! Can you say bogus?
I wouldn't have the balls to show up at an NHRA event with parts like this. I have too much respect for guys like Dave Ley and Ryck Cambell. I couldn't look them in the eye with a straight face and say my parts are legal. I don't know how you sleep at night.

Two scoop, you missed your calling, Cabinet member of current Presidential administration. Head of Transportation or some other BS.
Barton-ism to the 27th power. How did you sleep on the night of Sept. 4, 2009. Dave Rayborn from Ca. ELIMINATED, Randall Warford ELIMINATED, John Rains Ca. ELIMINATED, but since scoop width not in rules as per you??? (See X-techman post). You had to change hoods after those boys lost. I went back and checked NTM database(you don't have that), not only were you narrow, you were too tall all the way back to clear the back carb. You knew it, that's why you were the only guy there with
TWO hoods. Then you had to change it and guess what, Sr. hands your stuff back "in a sock" with someones borrowed backup motor. BOG, HELLO! No back carb clearance. This is a generation deal. PLEASE read the Mr. Dwight Southerland's post on page 10. Memorize it. He doesn't know it yet but he is running for President and I am his manager. I will test you on it when you come to collect at BRose.
