This, with having the knowledge the same has been done with others makes and OEM's. Noted why they will not be interested in seeing the make they seem to cherish, AMC, kick some butt.

2. Billy Nees, goes to his NHRA friends that happens to have influence in the Stock and Super Stock class decisions, and convinces him to rescind the approved parts for which legal documentation was provided for.

In the later, I believe is a case of a personal retribution against Jeff because I have never seen Billy put this much effort in getting this done as applicable to Chevy, Ford or Mopar makes.

This is my summary and Cliff Notes of this drama!

I'm not going to drag his name into this conversation but I have it from this person that in the 40 or so years of his close affiliation with AMC/Chrysler/Jeep he never once saw the installation of any of these parts. As far as Billy's part I'll let him speak for himself,but I don't know if he'll want to communicate with someone so vain they can't use their real name when bashing someone else.
So in summation the submission of these parts are pure bull**** just as the factory horse power factors for the new Ford/Mopar/Chevy ringers, who have done more to negate all the work and money put in by many racers in NHRA S/SS.
As far as AMC kicking butt the new cars rule the majority of classes from G up.The only place AMC has a chance is the lower classes. Jim and I proved that you can build a competitive combo without bogus parts and HP factors.And Billys talent with low buck combos is beyond reproach.
BTW do you have a car on the track now.Inquisitive minds want to know.
