Hemi Head Ruling

charlie westcott · 02-26-2013, 08:17 AM

What the hell are you talking about? Is this your way to spin this in your favor? The rule that everyone wanted except you guy was that the top of the V/C bolt hole had to be there, you guys have milled into that bolt at the top, which you showed to one of my customers at the dutch, I never milled any heads that far.
The statements you made are beyond rediculous, and show the lack of intelligence that you have.

I am not in favor of the new rule, I think its going to turn the class into an altered class.
My heads shouldnt have passed at indy? Why were you there, or are you just listening to the BS that your Dad spews?

The facts are is if this rule stands you know you wont win a creativity battle with me, so you have to call it now as if they made it for me.

I say go back to the original rule, the bolt hole cant be milled into, and you guys will have to sell the garden club new heads cause they cant pass the rule as it was.

If the two most prominent S/S/AH HEMI engine builders and racers don't like the ruling, why didn't the N.H.R.A. consult them before adopting it?

Frank, you're kidding right?

Billy,
As ridiculous as it may sound, it would make sense, would it not?

Face it, $$$$ and ego are the primary passions in play here and I don't mean any disrespect toward either party; it's simply the way it is. For two years I watched the war wage on at Valdosta where records were set and also witnessed some of the Indy Shoot out competition. Competitive spirit combined with the passion involved is a huge part of our sport's history...does anyone doubt that Shirley didn't advance the sport with her bitter rivalries (including with Wally Parks)? The examples are endless. Hard-nosed competition is just part of the territory in the AH world. Let the games continue....

This just like our poor nation, governance by FREAKOUT. (Peggy Noonan)2013

Here’s the deal. As of this moment I am sponsoring a hybrid Chootout ie: AH class elims on Sat. $10,000 winner take all. Lets call it the "Krazy Kajun Freakout Classic" (KKFC) race. May throw in a bucket of chicken, HA!

The original rule on VC etc will be enforced as far as my payout goes. This is America....I will enter the event in order to park on the grounds and will make my final voyages with the Phish at Thursdays test session. I will not enter the race at all. After NHRA is done with whatever for class, winning car and crew will report to my trailer if they want to collect. My crew will be excused and winning crew will remove the intake, place my valve cover on the head to verify no mods etc, visual inspection of VC bolt shaft (no threads exposed), and pour a runner. Myself, one of my R&M heads, a burette and my checkbook is all that will be present. RSVP required.
