Default Re: Runner Volumes

Back when Jim Skelly was still a member of the NHRA we had lunch together in Reading Pa. This was about 1994. At that time a number of people had been DQ'd for port volumes in their stocker that exceed the maxium and swore that they had not done any thing illegal to them. Well Jim tells me that he decided to do some investigation and went junk yard cruising. As stated earlier in this thread, he found heads that were over the volume limits that were taken of junk yard cars. Soon after this,the published volumes went from Stock/Super Stock volumes to just Super Stock volumes. Doesn't anyone rember this? So to sum things up NHRA should know that there needs to be some work done to make this a workable rule. They took a lot of time to come up with the assembley wieghts and dimensions for piston and rod combo's, they just need to spend some time to resolve this issue.
