NHRA Rule Change for Valve Grind
 

What are you guy making of the rule change for the valve grind in stock eliminator? Do you think the rule was loosened enough to get creative with the valve grind and actually gain in the horsepower department?

Better wait a few days before doing your new valve job! I talked to NHRA today and they have not decided yet if we can change the valve seat angle from the stock angle.

Little late for that crap, i was told a month ago how it was going to be and now it's in writing, so they need to stop changing their minds!:mad:

Woody...you are right...they should adopt the process used by the Federal Government for rule changes:

1. They publish a draft of the new or revised rule for comment to the PUBLIC.

2. Depending on the rule, there is a commentary period that varies from 15 to 45 days. All the comments can be made via mail, fax or electronically. The comments are public and available for view by others.

3. During the review period, the government looks at all the comments; at closing, a board reviews the comments and a final draft is then release with an enforcement date.

4. When the enforcement date is due, then the new or revised rule is published as an official document.

The process is easy and gives everyone an opportunity to comment. I just cannot understand why NHRA does not adopt such a process and allow those with a current competition number to comment prior to a rule issuance.

Valve angle and valve seat angle are two seperate animals. Woodrow is right and Sean is right.
