Jeremy take some advice and stop posting on issues you have no idea what your talking about. Doug did great in the eliminator and I'm very happy for him. Leave it be...

If you look at them I was the one that started the post of Doug being 100 % legal !!! I am very proud of him as well I think that he showed a great representation of Division 2.

The "liberal enforcement" of the rulebook is one of the main reasons I stopped racing a few years ago, and will be the main reason why I will not race much after this point.

Let's start a list of items NHRA tech has scewed up on:

1. Doug Partrick allowed to race after having too small by 0.5 cc combustion chamber.
2. 4-angle valvejobs in stock, can't remember who.
3. A 440 cid engine with 400 main journals, Steve Wann.
4. Aluminum heads on originally cast iron, Bill Hawk.
5. Single 4bbl head on originally dual four bbl, 67 Shelby
6. Closed chamber heads replaced with open chamber heads (or vice versa), 396 BB Chevy Rectange ports.
7. Year model 1998 Lt-1 engine, they were actually LS-1's.

Chris,

1. NHRA Rule book, Section 19.6.2, Page 264, Paragrah 2: Margin of error is 1% of 1cc. There is not a burrettte that is that accurate, not even electronic.

2. 4 angle valve jobs are illegal according to the rule book.

3. There is no rule in Super Stock that prevents the use of the 383 block as a 440 block. What if you bore the mains to a 400 size? If you look, the rules apply to the conecting rods journal size and not crankshaft.

4. Aluminum replacement aftermarket heads have been approved for many, including Ford and Chevy.

5. Dual 4bbl.; blame NHRA and not the racer. They did what NHRA allows anyone to do; show documentation. The same pratcice has been used to incorporated other engines in the class such as the Olds 350 EFI that was used in the Cadillac.

6. Closed chamber vs. Open, blame again NHRA and not the racers.

7. LT-1 engine use; NHRA allowed it.

In a nutshell, NHRA makes the rules and the call, not the racer.

Chris i have explained time and time again why the LT1's were made legal for the 98 Camaros and Firebirds,,,,,,,,let it rest son, your bitching isn't going to make it go away! Bitching about NHRA and the Tech issues isn't going to help either, believe me, i have been there and done that. The Tech guys are trying their damnest to do their Job!
