That didn't work so well for Artie when NHRA told him his completely bone stock straight from the junkyard turbo was too big, or when Griffith lost a World Championship from having a complete bone stock out of the box OEM replacement AC Delco cylinder head on his Cavalier that was legalized a couple weeks after he was tossed, or when Himes was tossed from Indy because his cylinder heads "looked TOO stock" and was later determined that they looked stock because they were... STOCK.

It's obvious you didn't do anything intentionally wrong, but by the book, I can't see them allowing the record retroactively. But I know you'll come back and set the record again to their satisfaction, and maybe feel a little vindication. Good luck,

Mike you are probably right, but I am holding on to some hope that they won't totally stick it to me. I don't know if I want to set it again, because the teardown was a pain. Not really worth it, but I wanted to do it once and that might be all I care to do. Thanks.

I would like to thank The Hill's for taken us on tour with them, thank you for all the pictures. Jeff, don't feel bad, it looks like you're in good company. Evan Smith ran into similar problem a couple of years ago with valves. sometime the most innocent mistake can be taken out of context. anyways I wouldn't worry too much about what people think, considering some enjoy using a little acid on their heads for that little bit of an advantage.lol Claude

I know you have wanted this record for a very long time. You and Tom have busted your humps to create the best car you know how. I can picture Tom as some mad scientist mixing up smoking dyno sessions. If they will not let you win by playing their rules, maybe it is time to rethink that record. A win on Sunday in bracket mode is worth a BUNCH more than the 8 x10 framed cert that Glendora will send you....................
Congrats on your killer fast pony. I think I'll just stay in O.

Thanks Charlie and Claude. I agree a win at Pomona would be much more enjoyable than the record run. Well we will just see how well it runs this weekend with the other intake on it. It would be funny if it went faster. LOL
