I think Wesley will be at Indy.

Be thankful they're taking this a bit more seriously. They could solve this problem with a stroke of their pen. Imagine a rule book entry like "stock intake and exhaust valve diameter required; any other head modification allowed" and "any intake manifold or modification allowed as long as the material matches the orginal and it fits the stock carb".

I think more races are won and lost on the drag strip than in the teardown barn.

On the older cars they look at the "texture" of the cast,and run a finger in the runner.If it don't look or feel right your gone.Red Anderson(div.4) had one of those magic fingers. gsa612

Hmmmm stock heads, stock valve springs, stock camshaft profile......In stock eliminator, what a concept!

So if the stock castings, assuming NHRA can locate the hundreds of
castings that are in the guide, are the new "Required" runner shapes,
but the cc's are the current published ones, will the trend return to
acid dipping(or whatever new process' are available) to get to the
desired cc's? The sharp head people out there won't roll over and
retire. I see more expense coming for a lot of racers. J.R.
