I'm sitting around here at home, instead of Chicago, with nothing to do but read these soapies. I should leave well enough alone but I just can't help myself. (1) As far as I know this forum is for everyone ....even no names... and there is a forum for racers ONLY, just a quick scroll down when you get on this site. If you can't stand to read a thread of a no name, don't read it. If you want to have a racer only thread, go there. Unfortunately hardly any racers post there(????) (2) Jerry is point on, except that it would include a lot more than Novas and Camaros. Like he says ...a car that passes in one division may not in another. (3) As for the Nova in question..... NHRA has let the 1968 thru 72 Nova tech in as any of those years according to the engine combo claimed. The steering column is different in the early model(no ign.key). No big deal.The tail lights are some what different 69 to a 70. No big deal. The seats are close (head rest). Again no big deal. This has been going on for years with a lot of makes and models. (4) IF the Keir Nova has adjustable stops ( as do a few other stockers I've seen), he will probably have that corrected soon after he reads this thread. Ditto IF he has a block plate and/or cut core support. Everything else is nothing new to whats going on in stock now days. (5) Before you start bringing protest money to the races make sure your own house is in order. (6) That is an awfully NICE Nova. (7) If NHRA allows you to run it, RUN IT till they stop you. (8) I'm getting so tired even Bob Stampfli is starting to look good, James. (9) Gotta go and give props to the Wenzel guys.
