Important if you run D-H/S or SA

Of course qualifying is a whole nuther game along with out running the slow guy in your class (how often is that). Let's all say together "we are just bracket racers" I guaranty nobody cried foul when their combo received a nice little gift from NHRA.

It is apparent to me that you totally missed the point of # 2

The factory iron stuff is pretty stout....on my 383, holley aluminum intake versus a AS DELIVERED iron intake, ie not touched, stock, no difference other than weight of course.

The only advantage of the LD340 I have seen over the years is ease of lifting it out, when you are doing head gaskets, and it "looked" faster, and was cheaper than trying to find the correct year #s manifold when doing a restoration. One less thing to paint.

Billy, I never heard of that. No doubt it existed as you have one. The performance stuff started in the past and the ones I remember are direct connection and Mopar Performance. Where that came from I don't know. What I have is the franchise dealer parts manuals back to 60. But it would not surprise me. The 69 Dart and Cuda with the 440 were never in any dealer manual, but they made the cars and on the assembly line as opposed to the 64,65, and 68 Hemi stuff which were partial assemblies sorta like the Drag Paks of today. If I can find it, good. If I can't find it, good. So now you are the Tonto of new parts allowed. You scout it out, and the forum will work on it. By the way, you do know that Kemo Sabre means Trusted Scout. Surely you are a Lone Ranger fan.

Mr. Jeff, I have an"Ace-in-the Hole"! My sweetie is a retired Library Director. If it exists, she can probably find it.

As far as the Tonto stuff, I think I'll be happy just being the "Crazy Old Man who lives on a hill in Pennsylvania.

OBTW, you have a P.M.

This might be overdue......................

I would like to thank Billy and Jeff, along with many others in attempting to locate the documentation that would either allow or disallow the revision to the Blueprint Specifications.....

Thanks,

Bob


PS:
I know that I am yelling, but I think that it is appropriate....

Suggestion # 1,
Roll everything back to 1980 rules.
(This one won't fly, due to financial loss.)
I will help, if that's the concensus.

#2, Let it fly, until it morphs completely into Bracket II .
(There's probably a few who want the delay boxes too, but we'll go with II for now)

#3, JUST STOP, NOW. NO changes for 5 years.
This would include..No new HP combos before Indy for the FX cars.

Anyone who would like to turn this into an official C/R poll, be my guest.

I guess I should have added a 4th option.

#4 , Just bitch about anything and everything until the whole country is racing again.

[Jeff Teuton]

Sorry, Billy you are Tonto. You can see your star every weekday on Ch 367 on DTV. My schedule is lunch, followed by a nap till 2 then the Lone Ranger. and Tonto. About once a year you get the one hour version about the creation of the Lone Ranger and Tonto and the bad guys. That bit of information is worth the extensive 24 page reading of this mostly factual and somewhat embellished wing.

[jmcarter]

With option #4 you don't even have to do a poll.

No I don't have a dog in this fight but sure love to read Jeff's posts, the bad part being I'm old enough to know what he's talking about.
