Can We Un-ring The Bell
What rules in your opinion should be rescinded?
I'll start. Oversize camshaft journal diameter. If its not on the check list it should be for stock. |

Re: Can We Un-ring The Bell
Larry, my wish would be if we don't see a re-alignment of the recent AHFS
change, that it is modified to Mineshaft -95, Horsepower Adjustment-95. That way they align as before, Mineshaft -85, HP Adjustment -85. J.R. |

Re: Can We Un-ring The Bell
Hi Larry I hope you and Patsy had a great Christmas. I'm not sure how the big journal cams came about. Did the engine shops started using them along with roller bearings. And then tec decided no more roller bearings but the large journal cam were ok. As you know there are a lot of them out there including mine. To make them illegal after they have been used and accepted for so long would make a lot of expensive blocks junk. If they were to do this it should be one of those rules that they say in the year 2023 they are no longer accepted. I for one am in favor of them for several reasons. Can your car not use one? Barry

Re: Can We Un-ring The Bell
I'd like to see them go back to no data loggers can be connected during eliminations AND NO GRIDS! I'd ALSO like to see Tech arbitrarily swapping out Racers ignition boxes.

Re: Can We Un-ring The Bell
I dont know if my block will accept the larger cam I never saw the need to try it. Trust me I have had a few cam related failures but never ran out of protentional solution to try according to published rule book.
If we are going to swap boxes in staging they need to bring a timing light and 1/2''open end wench. The oversize ID blocks could be sleeved, mechanically locked in place, and then remachined to OEM size. A stock size cam would be pounds lighter than the 60 MM cam. My DP has a big cam and it's poundy. |

Re: Can We Un-ring The Bell
It doesn't need to be done in the staging lanes, it can be done in your pit space. They're numbered.
