Unless they are trying to protect the "club Hornick" payed high rpm engine that they pass around.
I am killing the class, Thats a good one. I am giving people an option to run against the pennsylvania millionares club. I dont have a club, I sell the same stuff to everyone, and last year we beat your best stuff with Rains backup engine.
Sorry for your sad face, my day is going pretty well so far. Maybe the sun will shine on you.

You must feel awfully guilty about this whole deal because nobody ever commented about you saying anything. You jumped right in.
I never asked NHRA to add center counterweights. Would it help? Absolutely, but I wouldn't want it if it meant it would protect the rules of the class.
Did we have 48 degree lifters in the past? Yes. But we were told it wasn't legal so we stopped. Did you stop, no, you just complained to NHRA.
2 years ago at the Maple Grove National 2 weeks before Indy we asked NHRA once again, "Are you allowed to change the lifter angles?", and they replied, "Absolutley not". We asked, "Would you check it at Indy in 2 weeks", and NHRA replied "Yes, if we had the right tools". We didn't protest you, we attempted to and NHRA wouldn't let us. First they said they didn't have the tools. When we told them we had the tools they said, "Well, we're not going to check it anyway". And guess what, the following Tuesday there was a rule change to accommodate Charlie Westcott, once again.
I never said that changing to Ti valves wouldn't be cheaper in the long run. How many times do I have to say the same thing, keep the rules the way they are, you are killing the originality of the class. I'm not talking about the cost of the parts or the time before your motor breaks. I'm talking about keeping Super Stock the way it is. Can't you understand this at all? Are you that dense?
I don't think sacrificing 2 engines to beat me is anything to brag about. You and your Dad are lucky my carbs decided to bog in the final. Congrats on your win. What happened this year? Oh yeah, 2 more bit the dust. What rule change are you planning for now?
Why didn't you borrow Rains' motor this year? Because he doesn't have the same power you have or because he was slow?
