big base circle cam in stock elem.

[Dave Casey]

Dwight hit the nail on the head, if it doesn't say it is allowed in the rule book, it isn't,, sorry Bobby

This is certainly a grey area topic though,, there are plenty of large bore cams out there, and i never saw anyone tossed for it, but I honestly don't know if anyone has ever been checked for it.

According to the letter that is posted here, it's A OK. unless of course they change their mind. So we simply need to hear from NHRA regarding this issue, because someone obviously told Jeff and Kevin larger bore cams are not allowed.

Thanks Sammy for starting the thread

" (emphasis mine). That's a good basis for it not being allowed.

THIS thing has been talked to death. WHY NHRA cant make a ruling on it I cant understand . Two years ago they nhra tech said it was ok as long AS you use the babbit bearing now its not? AS FAR RULE BEING ENFORCED YA RIGHT.
