The rains are back, we were about halfway through Super Stock when it started to rain again. Looks like this will be a long one.

As for SS/JA we did go thru tear down on Friday we hurt engine and asked if we could pull apart early to see if was fixable. It was not fixable and YES we’re are legal with the magical cylinder heads that we have NHRA took pics of head and quoted “as per Rule book these heads are legal”. Thanks to #M/T, #VP, #John Holt Race cars, #ATI, # Sepanek transmissions, #John Gulius, #Royal Purple,

I cannot seem to get it to upload it here. I can email it to someone who might be able to.

This issue is really something for the racer and nhra to work out. But I will tell you that the guide you have is pretty much useless in this situation. I bought the Chevrolet section of the guide back in 1996 and attempted to use it to make a point with the nhra staff in the early 2000's and was told to pound sand. They made it very clear that we are to run by the current guide unless and untill nhra decides to change it. You can use an old guide to help prove a point about a combination and they may work with you but you can't apply it retroactively to reverse a penalty.
