new ruling on elcamino's absurd

the 59-76 elcos are built on car chassis as were the 57 sedan deiveries
77-87 are specific platform 117" wb

and no regard on statement on HP reductions / increases

maybe im just sensitive but seems like im just the nhra whipping boy ...
1st 302 fffords get -30HP
2nd AMA weights coming moves me out of class ive held record in for 27 of laast 40 years
3rd elcamino now loses its 430 cam AND seems like loses earned hp reduction

this bull**** aint much fun anymore

So now a 2 second under combo becomes what, a 1.5 under combo?
I would say that the HP rating on that combo was a joke, but jokes are funny. Up until last year, the hp rating on that combo was the same as the 230 inline 6 in the nova. Somebody would have to play "the game" for the next 5-6 years at least to make that combo anywhere remotely close to the el camino in V/SA. It's kind of funny how people keep complaining about the "fffords". Where's the influx of people building 2bbl 302's that everyone cried wolf about? The people that are running those combos seem to be the same ones that ran them for years before the hp reduction.

So the wheelbase is different, but all components, the rails in between and body panels are g-body CAR specific, so do you suggest a Chevelle 4 door (116") should get different engine specs, allowed parts, and factors than a 2 door (112")?
As stated above, your 2 second under combo just got knocked back to 1.50 under combo, what a shame!

For those who don't follow this stuff closely, but feel the need to comment anyway, Jack's Elky is a 305 2 bbl...not a V6 like the one that triggered this look/see and subsequent ruling.
Jack's doesn't run a second under, yet. It did lose it's .430 lift cam too though.
Whether it should have had it in the first place is debatable, but it did and now it doesn't.
(See MJ's point, above)

That was Jack's point, I believe.
