YES.
It does appear to have a polished finish. It looks like a tumble deburr machine, or a Centrifugal Barrel Finishing Machine with a mid size XM media. Or what theyre calling REM finishing. IMHO.

Re: And the penalties are???
 

That's not even the right carburetor. Summer's is 2 barrel.

Re: And the penalties are???
 

But, if that is an approved nhra carburetor, and it "Appears" to have polished boosters, why would Summer's be illegal?

Re: And the penalties are???
 

BUT, replacement carbs are legal. For some applications within stock, a replacement QFT is legal. Holley makes a replacement 2bbl carb. Thats as much as I'm sayin. One of my cars uses a carb similar to the Summers application. :rolleyes: :D

Re: And the penalties are???
 

There is an appeal process and you and car owner cannot compete at any NHRA EVENT OR SANCTIONED TRACK until the appeal is done. So most take the penalty and move on.
