Years ago they got carried away with the nit-picking I remember a car not being allowed to run because the emblem on the glove box was wrong. Thank God it isn't like that anymore.
They allowed me to run my fiberglass fenders with louvers for 2 years. Then bitc**ed about it when I went to Englishtown, Told me not to come back with them. The louvers went into a dead air space, absolutly no advantage.
So now I bought some steel fenders (3 pounds lighter than the fiberglass). Am in the process of painting them to match the car.
I'll have to thank them for making my car pickup half a second the next time I get to an NHRA track. LOL
I always thank them for the presents they give.

I remember before I went to work at Div. 1 with Greg X. I think it was around 1970-72. I was at Maple Grove Penn. with Jim Morgan and his 428 69 Red Mustang Convert. SS/I at that time. The old guys will remember that car. Jim installed a nice gauge pannel to hold an oil pressure gauge and had it in the place where an ash try was supposed to be. It was a real nice car all over. Greg X got him in tech and called Jims Mustang a "Gutted out Gasser" and we had to remove the oil pressure gauge and "engine turned" pannel and borrow an ash try from a spectator who had a Mustang in the parking lot before he was allowed to run. Now is THAT chicken poop or what !.
