Thanks Dean. Not exactly ideal racing conditions. High side to quartering headwinds most of the weekend. Windchills in the teens in the morning hours. Just like being at home -- ha!

Yes, it was an exhaust port on a 283. How big? I don't know, but apparently NHRA has some specs already in mind for many of the more common cylinder heads. I won't speculate as to whether NHRA is using the SS pour specs or not, but they've been pouring Stocker heads for over a year now, so........??

With regard to this DQ. I was pitted next to the car both in the pits and in teardown, so I know more than I'm telling. Suffice it to say that there are some innocent people caught up in the DQ. I had a long discussion with the owner, and he may challenge it. In fairness to them, that's all I can say.
