Hemi Head Ruling

[Tom Meyer]

I have no dog in this fight, but I have been racing in super stock since the mid eightys, before the ported heads deal came along. When they allowed port head deal came along some guys got crazy with rolling the heads over and getting into the valve cover bolt hole mostly small block chevys at the time, that is when the rule was put into place must of been mid 90s. I know if I show up in tech with my small block chevy head with it rolled over so far that there was no valve cover holes I would be DQ no questions asked. Then came the combustion camber rule guys got inventive with it some were dq for that, nhra had cutawys with them to see if your heads were legal. Every time people get caught cheating they start crying I spent all this time and money becuse I thought I could. And every time this happens it usely cost 99 percent of the rest of the racers more money to stay competive and you guys wonder why we lose racers every year. Just because you have taken the easy road to get your hp and now want to twist the rules to your advantage and then say but everybody else does it, does not make it right. Just remember you started this thread and you will be judged by your peers just some will not speech up. Tom
