The Fact is that Holbrook did use the wrong head's when the numbers were clearly visible to everyone and went 1500 miles to try and set a national record with the wrong numbers on the heads. He did not get tossed , got no HP and the AHFS failed

Charlie, call me and I will give you someone who will tell you that people have set national records at opens and been sealed up to tear down later , got the hp, when they torn down they failed and the HP stayed on . This person is well known and a long time racer 30 plus years

The only point I'm trying to make is that there should not be a loop hole in setting a national record that circumvent's the AHFS system

Hats off to Jim Collins and company for checking those casting numbers
Let's try this for the sake of argument. What if all of the 50 2013 Cobra Jets and all of the 5.0 motors that Ford Motorsport sold had the same casting #'s that Chris had on his heads? AND what if after the run Chris was preoccupied trying to remember if he put ice in the beer cooler for the evening festivities and forgot to stop at the scales. This could be a real head scratcher for some of you guys. Get your facts before you try to expert this situation.
