Maybe, not a problem. However, the choice between record setting and going rounds is a false choice. It is true that some have a priority of one over the other. You can choose both. I am not saying it always works out. I am surprised that you would think that the solution you pose would be cheaper given your experience. It might be cheaper for a second or two before it becomes super modified.
There is no easy answer, but if NHRA does communicate better and follow up, we would see less cars “forgetting” which carb they happened to have on a car or competing in a performance class with a bracket motor.
We can’t go back in time as some would prefer, but we can at least improve the oversight and customer support from that standpoint. I am encouraged there seems to be some improvement in that area as of late.
