Absolutely correct. Uncalled for.

Has NHRA ever tore a 5.7 Hemi down for running fast? I did Merrifield’s heads so I know that they are legal. But it would be bad for racers if NHRA factored an engine and it wasn't even legal. The least that NHRA could do is make sure somebody is legal before they lower the hammer on a whole combination!

The least that NHRA could do is to make sure somebody reads their Rule Book before they legalize a whole combination and lower the hammer on an entire class or three!
That IS what you meant to say, right Conway?

Have you forgotten what they did to the street hemi a few years ago !!!!!!!!!!!!!
They never certified it and it was never weighed or fuel checked yet they still screwed the street hemi combo in an E body for years. Whats new?

X-Tech Man, I think they took the Hp. off the street Hemi ? Some of the Division races, if you get Hp. they have you tear down. Happened to Robin Brown in Division 4 . Tom

I think NHRA removed horsepower from the Street Hemi in the '70 or '71 Challenger (can't remeber which, or, was it both years?), but I'm not sure they took it ALL of...

I hope somebody who knows that story gets on here and explains the HP numbers and what happened; there's a lot of hearsay attached to this particular mess.

Yes they FINALLY took some HP back off but only after almost everyone who had been running the combo either switched car bodies or quit running the Street Hemi. The point is.....the combo and car in questiion was NEVER certified yet STILL recieved the HP kick in the *****. The weather conditions at the track during this was KILLER AIR.
