No doubt about Wesley, but Danny and Bruce won't or don't listen to him. As I have heard he won't go to a meet that Danny is at. NOTE I said as I have heard.

I haven't asked Jimmy, have you asked him how he feels about titanium valves?

I can afford them and they would extend my valve spring life, but this stuff has to stop some place.

It truly is a shame that this is what it has come down to. Everybody seems to know where the problems are but when does it all get rectified. To all the men in tech who take pride in their work---Thank you !

No I haven't. I met Jimmy some years ago at the Dutch through a friend who bought a set of heads from him. I believe he was trying to set the record at that time in the Corvette. I was on the starting line when he made a couple of passes and I thought that was an awful lot of RPMs for a big block.

Don't get me wrong-its obvious the steel valves will work. Even at the high RPMS. It;s my opinion that if titanium valves were legal, maybe the valve train would last longer.

Funny, I never heard anyone complain about titanium axles in a rear....

I agree, this is turning into Pro Stock. And look how ridiculous their rules got. You guys just don't get it. If we keep following this path we'll end up running tube chassis carbon fiber bodied SS/AH cars.....because its safer. What makes you think we can't put on a diaper now? Have you personally tried?

I'm 100% all for safety rules, but people get stupid about it. For example, the inner fender tubs for front tire clearance. If your tires hit, then raise the ride height or run a smaller tire. If your engine can't rev to 10,000 RPM without breaking then don't rev it to 10,000 RPM.

That's why it is SUPER STOCK!!!

Stop taking the STOCK out of Super Stock. Go race Comp if you don't like it. You'll even get a nicer pit spot.

And the guys who can not drive a 4 speed some how pushed the clutchless trans rule thru in Super Stock . Now it has cost the lower S/S racers to spend more $$$$ just to keep up. Theres nothing super about it anymore and it sure "AIN'T" STOCK. Yeah Comp. is a good place for these guys and Comp. needs the cars anyway. With this SS/AH heads up club and the BS crap with all of the engine mods that are being done you have ruined it for anyone wanting to just run S/S with one of the neatest MoPar cars to ever be built.
