The infraction was .014. Get the facts straight, or better off don’t post anything at all. The new head gaskets installed put him .010 above the required spec and motor sealed. Not that it’s anyone's business but thought this thread would benefit with at least one accurate piece of information.

Sorry folks, I should not have posted any details unless I had all the facts. Thanks Shane for giving us the straight scoop. |

Yo Ken, well spoken on the response. Clearly the person that refers to themselves in the third person is mentally challenged.
Larry Hill; you and your wife are awesome people and I have had the pleasure of experiencing that in person on more than one occasion. My only response is yes you run B/SA on occasion. However according to NHRA points standings there are 930 people that run stock eliminator, yet you are the only B/SA competitor that felt the need to comment on this site. Whitehead; you and your dad are awesome people and no need for an apology. I would only ask that you or anyone not post things unless you heard directly from the source. Lastly, I donÂ’t post on here, Facebook, or any social media outlet often. I must be too busy running a business, working on my cars, or having a life. Please refrain from your keyboard and visit your local track as IÂ’m afraid this sport is slowly becoming extinct. My intention is not to offend anyone, I simply feel the need to defend a friend who does not look at these outlets. ItÂ’s sunday, enjoy football, and have a good weekend. See you in Virginia and if youÂ’d like to discuss any of the above mentioned topics in person stop by my trailer. Shane Oakes 1986 G/SA 1986 GT/HA |

Well said Shane,
I apologize if my earlier posts were taken out of context, I built all my family's motors for 3 years before we realized it was a losted cause due to time, power, and longevity. Some of you have to realize it's not 50-60 years ago when you could work a 40 and have the time to do the r&d to make power gains. While having a house, family, and everything great that comes with it. If anyone wants to talk more, because I am horrible at this online stuff, feel free to call Portatree and ask for Steve. Or show up at the shop, address on the website. |

Once upon a time we were DQd at the Keystone Nationals for a cam lift violation (really a Rocker Arm issue). It was unintentional and our fault as we thrashed to reassemble the engine to make the event.
It happens. Maybe a great racer like Bubba will respond to the naysayers of this thread. |
