Do you have to have correct hood

Casey Miles · 11-06-2008, 12:55 PM

You have to remember that the NHRA crew that look at these cars are getting to be a younger crowd. They don't know which hood belongs to which combo. The 1969 Camaros comes with the spoiler and the front air dam or neither of them. Yet I see the cars with the air dam and not the spoiler. The NHRA people either don't know or don't want to regulate the cars.
I'm so tied of hearing that NHRA doesn't want to be bother with tear downs and other enforcement of regulations. The enforcement and regulations are what make it fun with a even playing field. We pay dues to NHRA and when we go to the races we pay a large entry fees which should cover the enforcement of the rules. NHRA doesn't want to pay the people to do the jobs of what we are paying for. Because NHRA doesn't want to do their work, we end up buying new parts or changing parts to get to where their lack of enforcement forces us to go. Unregulated valve jobs is just one more item that shows their lack of involvement. Next it will be just pump the engines to make sure you are just close to the cubic inches the car is supposed to have.
