Not likely to be going through tech in Div 4 with one.

And you are correct, speaking for my self. In 49 years of NHRA racing, I have never been bounced for anything. Passed all tear downs, with Red Anderson, Wesley Robberson, and Chuck Nelson teaching with flying colors. Some would say I don't try hard enough. LOL

Thanks Jeff. Yep, she be wounded. Needs a whole rotating assy, one sleeve, and an oil pan. Looks like the heads survived. Should have had sense enough to add some oil until I could get it calmed down.

last I checked, the NHRA don't track or post those accomplishments and they don't award Wallys for it either.

It's all about the W!

Integrity...Once you lose it, it can never be regained.

He's not off on the carbon fiber comment. It's what the majority of firebird/camaro guys run (hatch, hood, doors, etc.) It's passed D4 tech and tech everywhere every time.

Most of those cars are plastic from the factory, but we can't run light weight parts like that. At least, if it's not legal I won't do it. I have to live with myself.

Yeah, but if I did that I would want to slit the throat below the face I see in the mirror while trying to shave every morning.

Am learning about some people's principles, however.

If you cheat and win you have not really won. You cheated. If you cheat and lose, your REALLY a loser.

The car came out nice Ed. From the picture in your avatar it looks like it was leaving really high before the chassis work, why would you have oiling issues now? Did it flip over backwards!!! Lol, just kidding.
