In case some missed it, this car and driver has been involved in several heads up runs in the last few years..Some with great drivers.

Yes his head gaskets were too thick by .014 this weekend but you are making it sound like it's been in his car for many years .And you don't know that so why accuse him? I'm sure the NHRA is not going to let him slide but you want to take him to the woodshed .

That's correct Jack as a matter of fact the motor was picked up fresh in the spring. Y'all carry on.....

Jacko, I was responding to SB here when he said heads up races weren't common.
I didn't accuse anyone of breaking the rules. NHRA did.. All I said was there was and is a vested interest in how fast that car goes, in a really popular class lately.
I know what I see, and that car was fast last year and it was fast the other day too.
You guys can think whatever you want.
BTW , I've heard reports of .014 and up to .023 on the gasket. Nobody said anything about head cc's to me.

First of all this is not a personal attack on Russ. The fact is everyone seems to be happy NHRA pulled a couple cars into the barn, then they find some critical dimensions out of spec. And now most are saying Russ and Georgie are good old boys etc, honest mistake, have a nice day. I show up with an 850 cfm carb in place of a spec 750, will I get a vacation or will I be praised? I am not bashing Russ or Georgie, I am stating the cars weren’t legal. I know in the past what NHRA did when that happened. All I want to see is what will they do here. More or less set the precedent for the future.

And for those saying no big deal, what is a big deal? Titanium valves, dominator carburetor, nitrous system? Tell me how far I can go before I need to plan a 6 month trip to Hawaii?
