Thank you PJ305 and Allan for your information. I did speak with a few NHRA officials in Richmonds Divisonal race today. A few were OK with the 12 bolt, I then went to Jim Collins (NHRA DIV2 Tech Director) and explained my understanding from Wesley Roberson. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT I AM NOT LOOKING TO PUT ONE OFFICIAL AGINST THE OTHER. I am preparing to build this car and want to be afforded the same as the other racers, nothing more or less! Mr. Collins was in agreement with Mr. Roberson but, he would check it out with NHRA DIV1 director Mr. Bob Lang ( chairman of the Stock committee ). Hopefully they will see fit to allow the 12 bolt in a 60 Corvette Stocker. There are many rear end applications and/or components out there that differ from the rule book right now. All I want is what they are using.
