Don't we have some kind of racer rules committee that can address these issues, I guess not? What do we need to start one?

We have one, SRAC. They're well intentioned but the people at the top rarely listen.
One thing that I have learned over the years about the Racers that run in the NHRA, they are (individually) some of the most brilliant people I have ever met. When we are put into groups (2 or more), we become so collectively stupid, we couldn't open a can of beans if we were starving. NHRA has always taken full advantage of that.
What would we need to start a "functional" racers rules committee? Divine Intervention!

I know you are, and it ain't gonna happen. Just like no one is going to be able to race a 68 Camaro with a 427 and a cowl induction hood and some bogus paperwork ,40 years after the fact.

Funny you mention that. Not knowing all the facts about Chevys, but back around 70 two close friends who where racing a 55 in modified production wanted to step up to a better car. So they decided to use Allens 68 Camero which had a 427 in it (he said he ordered it that way) well they ended up trading the 427 for a 302 out of Pee Wees 69 Z28. The Two partners, Standfield & Duerden, Gregg's Standfields uncle. Thanks for shaking the memory tree.

Minimum build numbers for that division was 50 units in 1967.

And I’m Mopar all through....but allowing this car was tough on the RO23 guys.
