You're allowed 2 OEM type gaskets, IF you can find a gasket with a smaller hole in it then go for it! But it's gotta be a GASKET.
The EFI guys are making steel and aluminum plates and putting them between the throttle body and the manifold.

. Darren.....do we have to run wide open?
Is Rich Christianson back????

This is what happens when you let it become a bracket race...
If it's a qualified field, then some of this will stop.
Qualify 64 (65 if you have to have the first round bye)
I think the quotas are too low...
Look at Gainsville, full in 6 minutes? Come on man...

Excuse me, I shall now go and don my kevlar under pants and fire suit...

Throttle limiters? Back in the day we were looking for throttle enhancers! Geez Louise. You guys need horsepower.

This might be a simple solution to small I D spacers and gaskets: seal them up and the racer can’t change spacers or gaskets during the race. The racer will be able to change to the “ fast “ carb or throttle body but the marked spacers and gaskets have to remain in place.

Just some thoughts

Larry, can we seal up the rear wheel nuts, I’ve seen a tenth between bias and radial tires. Let’s be fair on everything.

Daren,

I am going to un plug one injector. All good!!

Once they start looking at the injector wiring I will un pin in one of 2 connectors available at the ECU or at the connector for the main harness to injector harness.

Game ON!

That all sounds good until you hook it back up for class and dump at the 1000'! Now someone has new short times to review.....

Based on what they are proposing it appears they are not interested in Class racing.

Just a bracket race with qualifying on your index. No incentive to build fast combinations or work on your junk.

Am I wrong?
