Can We Un-ring The Bell

Some years back Wesley and I wrote a system for Stock and Super Stock. It was based on averages for different combinations and did not punish those who worked hard on their combination. It was fair, accurate, and based on what racers were running at the time. And of course NHRA would have no part of it but they did lower the indexes by 3 I think and did a couple of other things. Bob Lang was in charge then and you could at least talk to him. Still better than this mess we have now.

And to Billy Nees, during teardown with my 360 in my 09 Challenger DP, Bruce didn't like the 1/8 " spacer that came with the car. We had all the Mopar people there and explained it was an adapter that was hand made for the 360 and there were only 3 of them made which I had one. We assembled it without the spacer beause they would not give it back. However the car picked up about 1 to 2 mph without it. I never did get it back.
