I will bring my 23,000 mile camaro with a engine that has never been apart and teardown along side it. As for the fuel,Billy is correct. Powermist. It passed everytime,so dont hate me hate the organization you guys pay to police people like me.If anyone has any other comments about me our my brother let me know. Be more than happy to discuss.

Joe I didn't use your name but I understand a lot of others would know who I was talking about. I probably should not have said the corvette. But you were wrong period ! And you knew it. How many racers that ran legal stuff did you guys put on the trailer? If it was bracket racing who cares but it's not. I get it that several others are also doing the same thing. That doesn't make it right. You and your brother are smarter at this **** than most that run Stock. Your cars would be fast with building it to the NHRA rules. If I offended you personally that was not my intention. I believe because of the lack of tec and tear downs racers are pushing the rules more than they did back when we started racing. Maple Grove, one out of three got by. And that was only the top ends that were done. I still use Tilburg for my engines. There are two reasons why. His stuff is fast and will go threw a teardown. I have been apart at Indy several times and made it threw. I have never run light weight parts in my short block. And have always come to a race believing what I have would make it threw a tear down.
I don't remember how long did you get off for the infraction? Today it seems they would have thrown you out of that one race. And you could have raced the next race. I would love to see you guys back racing Stock. Your both are diehard competitors and have the same passion. And smart enough to make your cars fly the right way. By the way for my car you would need to bring a 402. BP
