Teardowns

[Greg Hill]

The biggest problem is that there are very few people left in tech that even know what to look for in a stocker. Chuck is right about being torn down in d3 if you go 1.20 under. In our division we still have Travis but he is one of one left in NHRA.

One of two, but I don't think Wesley is travelling to races any more.

They dont get any better than Dave Ley and Travis Miller. Glad to know them and call them a friend. The same for my mentor.....Greg X from Div. 1.

I was taken apart with Greg X. being the tech person many times, there was no funny business, if he didn't like what he saw, you were out. That's when the valve spring pressures had to be spec. and if the valve was bent or not, your presure had better come up right. I was tossed with a valve spring being too tight by 3 lbs. on the seat and the valve was bent. It didn't matter, it wasn't spec in Greg's eye. That's when Stock was Stock and no after market anything was allowed.
If you came apart at Maple Grove, you went to a pig farm for the tear down in an old barn. I think that that was one of Greg's favorite places for the tear downs.

Heck, I would. Hair was still brown & all here, nothing hurt, more energy. LOL

Been through tear downs with Red Anderson, Wesley Roberson, and Chuck Nelson.
Like and much respect for all of them. Tough tech men are great. That's the way it should be.

Agreed. Met Wesley at Gaineville back in 74 or 75. Tuff, smart but fair. Ended up buying a 2 piece alum degree wheel for checking cam duration and overlap from Red Anderson so the old tape method wasnt needed and I still have it. Another smart and good tech guy. Never knew Chuck Nelson but heard about him. Marty Barrett was another great if you had strong fenders on your car. The alum. fendered car guys didnt care for him much though.

The days when Stock Eliminator was a lot closer to Stock, well policed, and wasn't completely screwed up?

Sure. Absolutely. And if the biggest price to pay is some work tearing down at the races, I'm all for it.

It was good enough for guys like Woodro Josey, Arnold Greene, Jimmy Bridges, and a host of others. It made the class real.
