Well I guess NHRA is a big company now, they purchased a $60,000 scanner to use on showdown cars and stock eliminator cars. I received a phone call from Ford Performance letting me know that NHRA scanned cylinder heads for the Ford showdown cars. For six weeks all Ford show down cars were illegal. They just reversed that rule and said show down cars will have designated cylinder heads starting 2020. So with show down cars out of the way my guess would be they are going to focus on Stock Eliminator cars at Indy. It is no longer just runner volume, cylinder heads have to match all OEM and Aftermarket (ie Edelbrock) After 50+ years there is a new sheriff in town.
