Sorry Charlie, that is just wrong...

I'm going to just bite my lip and just tell a little story about Bucky. When he was helping me load my "Cuda he cut his hand. As I watched him putting a band aid on I realized his blood wasn't red - He was bleeding HEMI ORANGE!

If there is ever a vote of Inductees into the Super Stock Hemi hall of fame, Bucky will definitely get my first vote...

John, Thanks for the added details to that 1980 Indy Hemi saga. Another picture from that event:


As you can see thats a pretty high profile factory team car in that trailer. Obviously Politics weren't involved in their decision to toss anyone...

I was not at Indy in 2012 so anything I say will be here-say, BUT the facts I do know is that the winner and the lone car that was tossed did have the same "external modification". Now IMO, a few bolts that stabilize the valvetrain through the head are not external modifications. But technically they are and NHRA saw it that they were- illegal - For one car and one car only and not in post-race teardown. Were politics involved? IDK or do I really care at this point as it wont change anything.

All that matters from here forward is a consistent and equal enforcement of the rules for all...
