some older stockers won't run on pump gas, AT ALL

We've been torn down five times at National Events over the years and in several instances have still had the seals on the engine a couple of weeks later and set the record, and we always have to tear down again for the record.

Jerry,I saw one a while back and heard of another second hand.
I figured this thread would go to ***** (not your post Jerry),and it didn't take long.NHRA is going to get away with letting our eliminators go to crap due to lack of pressure on them to correct a lot of problems,whether caused by us or them.
I think I'll pull the plug on it.
NHRA does teardown cars when a car runs fast enough to set a record.The incedent I saw concerned a car going stupid fast,then
coming back the next run without the B on the window.That's not NHRAs fault.That's a case of the racers making a mockery of the
system.It was his option to do that,but it doesn't mean it's right.The other incedint was the alledged radiator emptying a while back.
I hope that clears up my statement,which I have deleted from my original post.
