Short and sweet -------------It was an oversight ! A one man shop with 30 different motor combinations going at the same time. The engine builder has a track record of dozens of cars going fast and passing tear down time and time again. His skills and reputation are beyond reproach. A year suspension for this is rediculous. ( nitrous, big valves, roller cam, bigger piston domes, heads 10cc's short, strokers , now that's cheatin ) -------- Anybody read the Junior Stocker book yet? Now that's an eye opener, you talk about stretching everything to the max. ------ Here's just a few of the things I was bounced for back then and never got a vacation because they weren't FLAGRANT! Just not being able to race was punishment enough. ----- Clutch fan instead of a straight fan----1 degree too much overlap measured with a piece of tape around the balancer then streched out and measured with a vernier , never mind it was .020 short on lift. ( Alan can probably remember that one)--- 2#s too much pressure on a 84# seat but 30# short on the open ------A carburetor that Farmer said " didn't look right" ----- a camshaft that checked way to the good but the paint stripe was the " wrong color " ------ Like my comments or not I've been doing this since 1959 and earned my 2 cents.
