Re: Nhra no bigger than stock cam journals
yes I don't think the NHRA letter mentioned anything about lifters that would make a person think that larger is legal!

Re: Nhra no bigger than stock cam journals
Cvengros told me 1957 Fords couldn't run stock because Ford didn't send the
specs to NHRA! Guess he never heard of Parham/Payne or Larry Walker. I wonder where they find these guys? Ron. |

There have been a few posts in other threads decrying the perfidy of NHRA with regard to aftermarket cylinder head castings and camshaft bearing journals. It's not hard to understand why people would want a stable set of guidelines and a clearly defined planning structure in the organization's decision making but I would submit that this is nothing to become all that agitated about. Until the morning comes when the word goes out that your class, your car/engine combination, or your entire eliminator has been wiped from the books ala Modified, Pro Stock Truck or Stock Eliminator in 1971, you really haven't experienced the worst that NHRA can do. Suck it up and move on! c

Re: Nhra no bigger than stock cam journals
Parham & Payne were local here. Had to get chased down by that car almost weekly here at Tulsa and OKC. Great guys, fast cars. Blown 312" T Bird eng. Black Fairlane 2dr hard top, then in a yellow 2dr wagon.

Re: Nhra no bigger than stock cam journals
Merry Christmas to all my Stocker friends....
I love reading about all the drama that goes on in a category I raced back when dinosaurs still roamed the earth and a number of times after they were wiped out........lol And it's really never been any different....always some controversy...and it makes it lively.....
