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?

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.

Networks carry news? Who da thunk it?

News pickings are pretty slim to be sure...Don't think they are the least bit interested in our demographic Art.
