The last I knew, 0.050" decked from a set of small block heads gave you a point of compression. He had less than a third of that, maybe a quarter. Would it make a difference? Maybe, but it's not worth a tenth. Besides, how many heads up runs does anyone see in eliminations? Sure, he was running class, but the guy races a lot. He has no need to cheat, especially at the most obvious place to check..

For those who don't know, he's a good guy and a excellent driver. He comes from a racing family of nice people.

Move on.
I disagree with just about everything in this one, right from the top.

As I said, I don't know the man. I'm sure he's a great guy to have a beer with after hours..But what does that have to do with the subject matter?
In case some missed it, this car and driver has been involved in several heads up runs in the last few years..Some with great drivers with good engines, that were in contention for National and Divisional championships. He was able to run away from most of them.
Now the driver can say he didn't put those gaskets on the engine, and the engine can say he didn't do it. The fact remains. Someone did it and it's no accident.

I'm really surprised at the nonchalant attitude of some here. This kind of thing would have been looked at quite differently under Farmer, Greg X, and Marty Barrett.

This saga is not going away yet, nor should it.

BTW, S... I think you ought to recheck your math.
