The casting number on the head is different, has an aluminum intake and a 750 carb and its kryptonite to an NHRA racer because its not "traditional". I think we are forgetting that even though it goes against what out "stocker" four-fathers put forward its still a bracket race. I just wish you NHRA guys would accept us. We are good people. LOL

You may have misunderstood my statement but I am not degrading any of these cars. Practically every one of the ones I've looked at have always been real nice cars. They were built by a given set of rules just as traditional stockers. However, as I stated earlier with the way tracks flip from one sanction to another I personally would not build one. I also don't see NHRA allowing these cars to run anytime in the foreseeable future, just my opinion of course.
In my area these are a lot of these cars and I have a tremendous amount of respect for all the guys that run them also.
