You know, I've seen this kind of nonsense go on for years and it's not limited to racers. Over the years it seems that one thing remains the same.... "the whiners and the crybabies (for the most part) who cry the loudest have the most to lose". Case in point: When I first moved from SS to Comp I had an A/SM Olds Calais. The rear spoiler was an oem factory piece that was bolted (in the factory location) and bondoed to the deck lid. It was clearly for aesthetic purposes. There was no real benefit. At Maple Grove another SM Comp racer started whining and complaining about it. NHRA Tech told me to remove it so I did.... on the spot. Then I went to the semi's, ran it out the back against Larry Kopp, went .60 + under and hit the index. That's when the real whining started. Later at Topeka, I hit the index again. At that point, a mindless few even threatened me. Lesson: Be careful what you complain about. The end result may be far more unpleasant.

The old Ebody we sold to Bagwell went thru many front fenders. As a 70 it had no louvers but as a 71 it had to have them so we cut holes in and stuck the louvers in. No good once it was realized they were not recessed like factory so new 71 fenders went on. The following is from a magazine article. Mopar Action 12/12. Won't write the hole thing but Earwood says after bombing the SS/EA record they moved the car to a 70 for SS/DA. With the expensive paint job Bagwell had they didn't want to change fenders so Terry had large "1973 National Super Stock Champion" decals made and put over the holes. World Finals Earwood was protested and Marty Barrett asked terry if he pushed a pencil on the decals would it go thru. Terry said yes and Marty asked " you know whose mistake this was?" to which Terry responded "mine". Marty said "It's my mistake-not yours-because I didn't catch it." Marty let him finish the race. Always liked Marty. Sorry kind of off topic but just shows how tight tech was.

I am not sure if NHRA is looking at fixing the rule if not they will be seeing some funny things over the next little while and I do not think the engine builders are looking for this.Can they not make it you cannot cut into the vc bolt hole at the vc suffarce like 90% thought it was all along and carry on racing.The longer this is not fixed the deeper it gets and may never fix it.

Glad to see we can still be friends. Does this mean I qualify for the $10k? I'm trying to figure out which car to bring. Those 10 rockets make it tempting to bring the AH car.

Looks good Mr. Barton! Hopefully there is a decent turnout in Belle Rose. Me and dad will be in attendance.

BRING IT! Two Scoop, you will NOT pass the KKFC teardown with the head shown +/- 17 seconds in the video. Just stop the movie and enlarge the frame. Where are these 10 VC bolt holes you brag about 15 pages and 30,000 views ago? In the trailer or the trash. If that's a NHRA SS/AH head, you are CHEATING BIG TIME. My goodness, how can you sleep at night, bogus, crooked NHRA etc etc. These are all your words, not mine. Of course, since we see it on the internet, it must be true and "I am a French Model" BONJOUR!!! |
