Not one stock eliminator crank has been inspected....really?

All I know is my fathers B/SA is so rule compliant and truly stock and we used to be the fastest back in 1993-1994 ....I know cutting down the crank and, offset piston pins along with lightening the crank as well with making our stock intake manifold act like a single plane with micro holes where tech can't see and a lot more stuff has our combo to be....well...very fast...not our stuff but everyone else's...I'm sure if I was in teardown and lead the tech to more of these such gray areas we could all play on the same playing field, otherwise its a joke.....We are the most legal car out there and being stomped on......its not fun....not fun at all.

here in division 3 travis usually know who legit whos close and who he'd love to teardown if he ever gets the chance...it is nice that we have travis > he is under appreciated, often maligned (even by his employers) and definitely underpaid.

If I were a particapant rather then a spectator at the race where the other racer had the incorrect weight to horsepower on his window, I would tell the racer and give him a timely manor to correct the issue before I would speak to any official with car number and driver's name. The weight difference was about 45 lbs, which isn't alot, but it's what NHRA says you have to carry.

One verbal warning to allow said racer to fix,repair,replace illegal items.
if said racer does'nt correct it. drop the hammer.
now with the lowered index's i'm sure there has been some questionable practices?

Hey Westy,
I lost a rod bearing in the wagon last weekend and I'm still having valve float issues with the Hemi still so we stayed home and worked on the Duster instead. Kelly want's a faster racecar so the old duster is getting a stocker 340 and will be ready for next year. E/SA maybe. . .
