So.......who's gonna be the first to start the thread about what parts and specs we all know are bogus?

Billy,
Tag you're it. The LD340 was your baby, albeit now abolished.

How about 9.0 30-15 tires on cars that we couldn't fit a F60-15 under back in the day. LOL!

Re: Aa/sa class dq at denver
 

Sorry Frank, I bi*ched about it but I can't take credit for it going away. A west coast Racer with a pedigree much better than mine pulled that one off.

But, ya know..... since we've been talking about rod journal sizes, didn't NHRA do some adjusting to the rotating weights (mass) inside the BB Mopars a few years ago? Something about them taking themselves apart and making a mess out of NHRA's racing surfaces? It seems that should be worth something other than longevity.

Would we be talking about guys running 383 & 400 low blocks as a 440 because the current tech guys didn't know the visual exterior difference in blocks? As Marvin Gay sang "I Heard it through the Grapevine."

Here is a "legal" replacement crank for a 350 SBC 2 piece rear main seal ..

It is manufactured by Callies and it is part number SAF113-CM..

Take a look because its been a while since we raced a SBC in Stock..

This crank has the flange turned down, all the rod journals drilled for lightening, profiled counterweight and it has been bull nosed..

How could this crank be a legal replacement???

I couldn't upload the pix, so just Google it for a pix...

The barn burned down years ago and the horse has long since gone to the rendering plant.

Stock and Super Stock are still great classes. More cars in both now than in many years and growing. It is what it is.

Re: Aa/sa class dq at denver
 

Those cars weren’t allowed in stock back then I guess. It’s only been about 15 years or less since the A990’s were allowed in. Same as the Tbolts. Where did the single 4bbl combo come from?

If you went down the line in the A/SA now in this age. There is something not right with every car in regards to original parts. Just the times. The guy with the replacement intake is complaining about a replacement carburetor. That guy is complaining about heads somebody gets to run. Need to enforce the rules evenly and correctly. Maybe the racers need to police themselves a bit. Allow protests once in a while

Re: Aa/sa class dq at denver
 

I have a theory on how the nascar combo got accepted. The bodies in white were production pieces unlike the A990 cars. The factory may have shipped the bodies and single 4bbl motors to the teams but all the paper work went through a dealer making it appear as a production assembled car sold through a dealership.

If anyone knows for a fact I would like to hear the story.
