Important if you run D-H/S or SA

In reality, the cars, trans, rears, suspensions and engines are not even close to the originals. It's just adjusted on the windshields dial-ins anyway.
I remember back in the day this racer saying, "they can do anything to their cars as long as they're not in my class"

If you're talking about me, you obviously don't know me very well.
But I would expect that from a west coast guy that races a couple of 340 cars.
I wonder if any of those "little brown envelopes" that I saw being passed around at Pomona in 2015 had anything to do with this deal.

Does it really matter what coast we all live on? No!! Yes I do have 2 340 cars, is that a problem? Sometimes you just have to say who really cares. I can send some tissues your way if that helps.

Hey pal, I didn't start with the name calling, you did.
This just happened. It can get fixed now without a lot of B.S. As soon as those cars start going down the track, it gets a whole lot more difficult to fix.
Keep your tissues, you'll need them.

There is no advantage other than the weight. When you go over the scales, your car has to be at min weight anyway. I don't see the big deal here? It sounds like nhra just approved nitrous for stock! Wow! There are a lot more important things going on it stock & super stock than a intake that is cast with the same dimensions as the cast iron one. What class do you run in Bill?

A lot of people don't have a clue....

More than I expected......

This takes the cake !! I thought the AMC death cry from a few years ago was the best !!

Billy, as regards to Jim Storms, even do he doesn't need anyone defending him, he doesn't need to pay anyone like you insinuate with brown envelopes.
He is a straight shooter and works very hard on his cars to make them fast.

I am very curious that this time you are asking racers to call and write to NHRA to not allow the intake.
Why? Is NHRA not listening to you anymore?

You put a lot of effort with the AMC cars allowance and they removed it from the books after your push and request.
So, while you were doing this for the AMC cars, why didn't you go after all the other allowances on the GM and Ford cars at the time?
Was it personal?

not for nothing if Mr Storms can make his cars go fast then why does he need a manifold that never came on that combo? Just asking.
If guys like Billy weren't around questioning questionable parts S/SS would be a real flustercluck.

If they won't be realistic and reverse this, might I suggest that you request your own Edelbrock intake be legalized for your personal combo! But please try and get the LD340 removed first!

What is the reason for allowing this manifold?
