Default Re: Lets Root Cause the Detriment of Class Racing

Now this is simply a weekend hobby for us
and we are the furthest thing from experts.

That being said it is our experience on our Small
block Mopar heads = the port configuration (shape)
with its insuring effect on velocity are what actually make horsepower
Not bigger hogged out in size ports (Read thin walls) with impaired
velocity. That and paired with proper valve shape and seat configuration.

But as I stated above = I am not an expert like you are Sir and many others
on this forum and that I have great respect for and have learned a lot from.
I have never claimed either her or anywhere else. to know very much about this Hobby.
However, I do know intimately my nearly a dozen race car and exactly how they are built by us.

After the torment and repeated harassment, we received last week
(Most of which I never even elaborated on except the first of several incidents) =
I am seriously considering retiring from Stock/Superstock after the World finals.
This was after another similar threatening violent incident at Vegas Nationals.
I truly do not feel safe at the track anymore at my age and health. After discussions
with the official and numerous witnesses, I have come to the conclusion that unless
violence is threatened or undertaken toward their officials - they have zero interest in
hearing about it.

I can mail you the head right of my car after that race for your inspection and you can see
for yourself why we do not win class or heads up races very often anymore!

Again, with all due respect Sir: You do not know a DAMN thing about my race cars or
or anything about me none of which you have never even laid eyes upon.
