Re: So, what should happen to
 

If you are one of the lucky individuals that have a car that can be converted to another year with a couple of tail lights and/or trim, then you should have to adhere to the rules specifically.

I've had to scour junkyards in Commerce, GA to get a 2bbl carb air filter hold down bolt to continue competition the next day of eliminations at The Southerns.

So I would have to concur that the correct tail lights should be used.

Back in the old days the violators would be flogged, tar & feathered, or forced to walk the plank.

Eric , Grill is not the problem. If Jimmy had a heads up run and won it, with a car that can't legally run that class, then you would have a problem.
In my experience , the tech guys try to enforce the rules..as written. Sometimes they are over ruled, for political reason. I suspect that would be the result here, if someone tried to pursue this any further.

The car is in the WRONG class, how can you race eliminations when you are in the WRONG class ??

Re: So, what should happen to
 

The Duster we run was run as a 70 AVS package for 7 years or better with a 71 grille. The at Reading one year it was brought up and I was told to change the grille before the car came back out. What changed after all those years I do not know. I changed the intake and carb to a 71 TQ rather than the grille.

Alan and Mark are correct. As a 1970 model, the weight break is 8.65 which is a natural B car. He could move up to A, but not AA.

Re: So, what should happen to
 

A few years ago at Vegas Nationals......Danny came up and stated
one of my competitors in N/SA said I had the wrong grille for the year
Dodge truck.
I had to go on Craigslist and find several 86 dodge trucks for sale and
print the pictures of the trucks.
He then looked over the truck to see if grille or brackets had been modified
to make the grille fit...It had not been and I was allowed to run.
Every time we change engines in our Demons from 71 to 72 we change
the darn grilles now!

Re: So, what should happen to
 

The Nova thing has been going on for years. All of them pretty much look alike from 68 to 72, why start this now. As for what Marty or Greg would do is not important as they are not involved any more.

Re: So, what should happen to
 

The 68 Nova had the key switch in the dash. 69 and up have the key switch in the steering column.

Re: So, what should happen to
 

Relevance is a relative concept but facts are facts; right is right and wrong is wrong whether Marty is involved or not.

Re: So, what should happen to
 

After posting above about my grille issue I noticed a D/SA Duster at Gainsville right now is being run as a 71 with a 70 grille. Go figure.
