Stephen, check your NTM database and tell us whether or not CW had valve cover bolt holes missing along with the external mods to the cylinder heads. Can you measure his cam height too, from space, while you're at it? BTW, I'm not a big fan of the new rule change, but we are trying to run a business and we have lots of cars to prep for 2013. We finally have some rules written in stone so its time to make some chips. I'm sure CW is doing the same thing. |

Re: Hemi Head Ruling
Although they would never admit it, there are probably many Hemi racers who wished they had never built SS/AH cars. With the way the class has "progressed", the majority of SS/AH cars are destined to never be competitive no matter how much money keeps being thrown at them. In the future look for those cars to become SS/GT pieces with a variety of Mopar engines installed...not that there would be anything wrong with that.
Hint...The newer Drag-pac hemi's put out lots of power and are still underfactored for SS/GT. Last edited by Crew Chief; 03-03-2013 at 10:52 AM. |

Re: Hemi Head Ruling
Crew Chief: This has been done already with a few AH cars and they were never campaigned a whole lot after the conversion. I feel this is because the majority of the people that enter SS/AH are doing it for the heads up eliminator style racing. SS/AH is an Elite class. Look at the number of AH cars that race in the eliminator at Indy. The majority pack up on Friday night after class.
SS/AH IS a very competitive combination.You may not qualify 1.00 under based on a beat up index, but in the eliminator its a whole different ball game. Little Joe runner upped at last years 'Gators and continually does well with his AH team. He races in the eliminator and a little differently than the rest of the Hemi cars, but this is somewhat the same way I plan on campaigning my AH car. Wendell: That was my point in the Thanksgiving Hemi Head Thread. If we could have legalized everyones heads and had a valve cover template, problem $olved. I had hoped to nip it in the bud before it came to this. Too late now I also found it very ironic that David would be bad mouthing this rule. They should have been laughing all the way to the bank. The only thing this tells me is the Bartons have a real Love for Super Stock and put the integrity of the class before the wallet! If the rule Jeff talks about comes to fruition in a few weeks, hopefully it will help the class and not hurt it anymore. Nothing like the off season to get your stuff ready. The Hemi Head rule is not changing, the chips are flying and the season is underway. Time to stop bs'ing and get to work...

Re: Hemi Head Ruling
The majority were done after the first two rounds of class. How many more years will the "love" of heads up racing keep the numbers up in SS/AH? One time a year racing is no excuse to throw away money unless you have really deep pockets.
