NHRA allows everything else to go on (2 steps, lite alum parts in the trans, gear sets, enhanced heads and intakes, wheelie bars, custom short run cars from the manufacturers, etc.) so whats the big deal. Use one or not. Your choice as it makes no difference especially if the 2 $HRA's combine the sticks and automatics for class in the near future.
Good,let's allow brakes,and I want an air shifter too.And while I'm at it I want the 2 bbl
intake and Holley carb from the Mexican market AMC's.Also the aluminum Clifford head.
I'm sure Cap't Jack would appreciate that I can leave on green and still cover him.Maybe I could even keep up with Briane Philbrick.Let's give the old A/SA cars a bit more cam to keep up with the new cars.What the hell,it's only another little advantage.
Pretty soon we'll be SSers and an entry level car will cost $30K.That will bring new blood into class racing.Yeah yeah that's the ticket.
