The CJ that won A/SA was not one of the ones tossed, so he won.

If I read correctly Jimmy Holzman got tossed. Chad Holzman didn't.

If they tossed a couple CJ cars,then how can the other ones be fine?Aren't they all the same except for weight and transmission type?

Sorry,this question has already been asked.

And it sure does seem silly to worry about what kind of pistons a car has when it has a supercharger on it.

In the old days.....ALL class winners got torn down and if they were found illegal the r/up got torn down...and if they were found illegal......there was no class winner! Been there and done that as the saying goes....If a car is not torn down it's obvioulsy considered legal......

Al - good point. We got tossed at the KC National Open last fall b/c after we reset our GTE record, two combustion chambers measured incorrect. One by a meer .4 of a cc also. Sent the heads back to Dave Layer and he said they checked fine. The short of it...we have heads that make us SHORT on power just so they will pass NHRA inspection. It DOES matter what equipment is used.

I posted on this burette problem earlier this year and it didn't get much attention.
I checked two of NHRA's burette's against mine and all three were different. NHRA's high dollar/quality burette's had a differents of point eight cc's on a 100 cc's which is alot when your checking 150-200 cc port volume.
I googled on the internet and it says class A burette's (best) only have to be within one cc to be with in spec's.
Thanks
Jerry
