Default Re: IHRA Tech at Pittsburgh

Crate motor cars are still under factored. We got a short block from advance auto, put the stocker camshaft in it had a set of heads that got a 3 angle valve job, put the words biggest p.o.s intake (torker 2) that was ever made and ran the car 130 pounds heavy and ran it with more problems than anyone could imagine. Still .450 under. Try to do that with a traditional stocker and see how far off the index you are.

Problems with tear downs is you have NO time with the two day races to pull anyone apart. Flat out, unless they MAKE a racer show up on friday and tear down its simply not going to happen.

Now tear down on pure stockers, Honestly (and Danny Sr and I have spoke about this in length, so no disrespect to any of the officals) but WHO knows how to accurately check lift, overlap, and duration along with spring pressure on any pure stockers. Now i sat out for 3 years and at the few races ive been at this year (some watching) theres alot of pure stockers running around sounding like regular stockers of today. I was around back in the day and still remember what they are suppose to sound like, and there is a bunch that are wrong. Some even in the wrong class, that i believe.

Now that ive voiced my opinion, ill apply for the head tech inspector for IHRA stock and super stock. The only issue is i believe alot of people wont like the outcome.
