My best operator attended classes for about four weeks and was very good at using this for a number of purposes.

In 1991 when the company purchased this machine it cost $56,000.00.It was a Browne & Sharpe 7-10-7. Smaller ones were cheaper but still not significantly. I don't know what a CMM with a laser attachment that had the ability to perform a 3D scan on a cylinder head would cost today. I feel comfortable saying that if NHRA were to start doing this at national events it would be best to contract someone to do this because of the complexity of this procedure. Being able to compare the scanned data to the CAD file of a know stock head would take a talented and well trained professional.

I am not saying this can or cannot be done at Indy but, it will be interesting to see what is going to happen.

Things have really changed over the years. We demoed this unit recently. Hand held with a digital camera showing the section being measured. $55,000

As usual the only people up here complaining or throwing out accusations are the people who don't race or are no longer involved!
My heads have not been touched, no porting or whatever else goes on and the valves have been done completely within the rules and it makes pretty good power and overall is a "fast" car as far as the index goes. Maybe all you conspiracy theorist need to go back and watch some more network news and stay off Classracer.......

Got it. In your mind the only racers who count, are current racers. Those who help others race need to keep their opinions, or experiences, to themselves.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Should a non-Racer be allowed to influence policy? I think not.

Just as Billy said and I would add those that come up here day after day to just complain about the current system when they are not involved in the sport at all should get a life and move on. It's ridiculous to see negative post one after another by the same people who don't race NHRA events all day every day!
