Travis is one of the last of a dying breed and just as good but as you said. The ASSociations tie their hands most of the time.
I had the "pleasure" of being checked by Greg and Marty Barrett.... at Indy in 1966. The H/SA Class winner was found ilegal for his camshaft and we were thrown out as the R/UP for the exact same thing. The cam we had was from Chevrolet and was a replacement but in NHRA'S eyes illegal as it was not accepted yet.....a few weeks later it was and we received a letter from Farmer Dismuke about it. Greg and Marty argued about what carburetors were legal for our car that night....I never forgot that arguement as Marty was more on our side than Greg and we were from Div. 1. I thought those two were going to have a friggen fist fight over it!!! Greg was very tough and we sufferd a few times from his toughness........ and eventually we passed one of his checks and set the H/S national record! and yes I am over 55......
