Well spank my

Jack Matyas · 06-11-2013, 07:15 AM

After a long, hard day at work yesterday I came home to a letter from the NHRA informing me that I once again broke the rules at the recent Summernationals .Trouble is no one talked to me there about this infraction or even looked at my car about it .Seems my 'friends' at the NHRA didn't have big enough brass ones to even say anything about this at the race .Is this the new face of NHRA ? Hide behind an unsigned letter - please ! !

Are they trying to chase away even their best supporters ? ?

All this only days away from the next event .....Hmmmmm.

YES it would be Rome NY that is burning. That's a spineless Rick Campbell move.

I find it more ridiculous that you are allowed to modify the trunk floor for wheelie bar clearance on a Stocker ,but cannot slot the lower valance 2" !
They allow GT cars to be slotted because of clearance issues, but no other cars can .
If the need for a slot exisits on one type of car , why not the others with similar clearance issues ?

Tom, was it you that altered or customized, notched or slotted the rear bumper cover for wheelie bar clearaance of Jack's car?

I have a friend who has his vallance slotted for his wheelie bar. He had a discussion with NHRA tech about it and it was never brought up again.
Sounds like its time to get Chevrolet involved with a new superceeded part number for a real valance for exhaust cleanance that wheelie bars fit through. This is when NHRA can be a bit out of touch.
