Here's today's installment of 'As The World Turns' soap story continues...I got an interesting private message from Mr. X today...so is there any truth to this rumor.

Quote: I've heard the issue is one of the teams (I believe it is RB) is milling the intake surface of the heads so much there is only 1/2 of the valve cover bolt hole remaining. They then put an adapter on the intake surface that the valve cover will lay on; there's only a couple of bolts holding the valve cover on. The adapter is akin to using a bolt on / extended exhaust port. On the intake side, the adapter will allow taller / straighter ports. That's the story I've heard! Those SS/AH guys have ego's I don't want to be around!

That is the exact opposite of my experience.

Yes, thats the old Bob Reed/ Parham, O.D. Powell/ Bucky Hess/ Marvel Cuda. For the eliminator, not the shoot outs, LOL!

And Chuck, PM sent

The drama continues. Just how much can be relocated on a motor. Just how much can be relocated on a car. Just how much can be relocated on your wallet or purse. NHRA shares some of the blame here. It was allowed to get out of bounds, but in NHRA's defense, it is like trying to ride a bull without a rope. People been relocating stuff on the Darts and Cuda's for most of my adult life, and I'm 69 going on 92. So what you have is a Pro Stock car wrapped in a 68 Cuda or Dart. For Indy the few that get in have already worn out their stuff on class. I know at some races, the AH guys are asked if they are going to run or not during the eliminator. Then you got 482 byes, or maybe 29. Depends. If a list was started of the things allowed were started today, Pomona would get here first. Might be a winter project for the forum, keep your mind fresh, and your concentration up for stuff you might like to relocate on your Pure Stocker.

This is not my opinion, I was just posting a PM that I received after asking a question...but I must admit that it's a very competitive class and I'm sure there is lots of accusations being thrown around at every race from time to time.

I think the rule is as clear as it can get. It has been clear for as long as the rule has been in place. The only problem is that it wasnt enforced.
As a Stock & SuperStock cylinder head guy i think the rule needs to be taken as is and the subject needs to be dropped.NHRA has done there job on making this rule clear and now they just need to enforce it and stay within the guidlines and wording!!! Its pretty cut and dry guys.

No Disrespect to anyone but lets move on and let the chips fall where they may!
