Wow. Just when I thought NHRA could not make less sense.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if they stepped back and took a look at what their buffoonery
has done to S/SS in general for the past 10 years or so and to correct the situation.
Might bring back some of the guys who threw up the white flag.

X10 This is unprecedented in the history of the NHRA, they grew a set instead of accommodating the cheaters as they done in the past. Now continue to stand by the rulebook and stop enhancing us further. Would'nt it be nice to be respected for standing your ground instead of loathed for your free for all lack of rules enforcement? Congratulations now try to take some more steps to bring class racing back in line.

The way S and SS have gone, it is like going to a carnival and watching the freak show. NHRA has allowed stuff so far from "stock" that they should be embarrassed.

If Nhra would have thrown wescott out at indy when they first saw them cutting heads into bolts and holes we wouldn't have this problem. Then i guess Barton heard Chuck could do it so he cuts them even more! And he pass teardown. The rulebook clearly states if nothing is said in super stock go back to stock! Which say you can't cut in to bolt or holes!!!To much let slide! Yet i win in belle rose and get thrown out because my screws aren't sticking thru butterfly plate! give me a break!

Funny how some things change, the more they stay the same. Here is an Editorial in the December 1980 Super Stock &Drag Illustrated Magazine, about Hemi cars at the '80 US Nationals.

16 out of 21 Hemi cars were found to have "deburred" blocks and weren't allowed to race. Very interesting article:
