Default Re: Titanium Valves Allowed in S/S?

It looks to me that NHRA doesn't have the technical skills to police their rules anymore. The racers got more sophicated that the sanctioning body. I guess that is why they opened up porting and chamber mods because the cheaters (not picking out anyone here) were smarter than the tech guys. Back to the porch for me.

Thumbs down Re: Titanium Valves Allowed in S/S?

OUCH! This is getting good even though most of us in the know knew what was going on already with the Hemis. . These SS/AH cars are out of hand and NOTHING like they should be. I think the AH part stands for something else.....LOL.

There is no question this statement. NHRA need's a house cleaning and they need VERY GOOD tech people FULL TIME and the same ones at every race.

No doubt about Wesley, but Danny and Bruce won't or don't listen to him. As I have heard he won't go to a meet that Danny is at. NOTE I said as I have heard.

It truly is a shame that this is what it has come down to. Everybody seems to know where the problems are but when does it all get rectified. To all the men in tech who take pride in their work---Thank you !

There is an easy solution to this problem. Take the titanium valves and the Comp cars..excuse me.. I mean the Modified cars that run them, the hemi cars that wish to run them, as well as anyone else who so desires to run them, and put them in a new category called, yep you guessed it.. Modified eliminator! OR just send them up to Competition eliminator where they belong. Everyone's happy.. the engine builders, the racers who want to go fast and spend the extra money, valve manufacturers, etc..

By the way, I got my new National Dragster issue yesterday with the Indy sportsman results and, looking at the cover, for the life of me can't help but wonder how that "snuffaluffagus" hood scoop add-on is legal on that white Comp.. damnit I meant Modified.. car! Twice now, sorry I get confused!
