Quite a few years back when my teenage son went to the AllStars for our Division = Several of our Competitors complained on the Net and to anyone who would listen at the track that his humble 12 Sec. Wagon had one of my old 340 or 360 engines in it. I invited everyone over after a race and we would pull a head off for them ...... All we wanted was to have them buy a head gasket when it was legal. No takers for the cost of a $30.00 Gasket. Of course the block number is in raised letters for anyone to see anyway!
Instead - just constant complaining. That year in Feb. I had a 12 Hour kidney Cancer and died on the table 3 times.
A week later we were racing in Phoenix = I could barely stand up. But I wnated my boy to have a shot at the AllStars!
Of Course after all the complainingto Everyone NHRA made me pull a head off. Then = Two weeks later a
head off again at the next race! Three weeks later the other head of at another race.
Six weeks and Three races in a row = Damned near killed me but we did it!
My teenage son was much of a mechanic back then.
Trolls/Windbags/Whinners and I will not talk to them to this day!
They were just trying to put my son off his game or harass us til we quit.

If you think someone is cheating put you money where you mouth is
and NAME them and the obvious Violation = We are all big boys here.

Otherwise Shut the heck up and Sit the heck Down!!!!!!!!

I had a set of heads done by a well known shop this year and when we were working out the details I was asked if I want the standard work or the enhanced version? I asked what's the difference and was told the enhanced version included port work and was $1700 additional??? Being of Scottish decent I elected the cheaper version.

^^^^ Or pay your money and take your chances on a protest. No one should get mad its all part of the game.

If your going to be king of the hill for a short time you got to spend money to find out. Most if not all spend money on better parts, dyno time, education, testing, and what ever else it takes to solve the physics problem with fancy wheels and tires.

You took the words out of my mouth!!
Well stated.

I am too careful = I do not wish to get Banned again.
I think I was getting close!
I still have a Boatload of resentment from what the Windbags
and Trolls made me go thru!!

THREE RACES IN A ROW starting a couple days after ICU for
a team that had been down 1/2 Dozen times prior few years= Always LEGAL and Legit
without exception or any questions asked!
