It's sort of like the speed limit. While those going 85mph in a 65 are breaking the law, you don't get a reward for doing 65. There's an interesting story I've heard of someone getting thrown out at Indy when 3 cylinder heads from 3 different cars with supposedly identical castings were inspected at the same time. 2 out of the 3 had ported heads, the other one didn't. Guess who was thrown out....

Remember what happened a couple of years back, when NHRA set Wesley Roberson loose to police cylinder heads?




They should turn Wesley Roberson, Travis Miller, and Dave Ley loose, and give them a free hand to fully police Stock and Super Stock, with the necessary staff.

What NHRA tech officials were conducting teardown the year the Super Stock LS got bounced for the crankshaft?
