Titanium Valves in SS

[SSDiv6]

Titanium Valves are allowed in Super Stock Class as a replacement for Sodium filled valves as long as the weight the same or more than the Sodium filled valve they are replacing.

While that was true once upon a time, that allowance was rescinded a long time ago IIRC. Quote from the engine section of the rulebook for SS: "Any aftermarket steel valve permitted; must maintain stock head and stem size; titanium valves prohibited."

That's OK; most everybody has forgotten his name. His 15 minutes of fame ended a long time ago.

He seems to be prospering in his anonymity and I am sure could give a crap about what any of us here think. One of a kind...

No disagreement with anything you say. I actually like him, and always have. Brilliantly talented, and as you state, totally one of a kind.

Hit the nail on the head. Wescott has a great business and can show up anytime in SS or comp and kick ***. I'm sure that he'll do well in Pro Stock when he's ready to play for real.

I doubt we will see Charlie running Pro Stock. He has not had that car outfit well over a year. Takes big money and lots of time. He seems to be concentrating on his business.

Dwight,
It is still in the 2018 Rule Book.

Super Stock, Section 12A, page 2
Cylinder Heads

Any aftermarket steel valve permitted; must maintain stock head and stem size; titanium valves prohibited. (OEM sodium-filled valve may be replaced with titanium, provided weight is equal to or greater than original.)

That's right, like the '68 428 CJ w/Canadian heads.
