I believe the NHRA recently changed the rules so you can run the RO scoop on the '66 Hemi cars. As long as it is identical to an original (and steel)

Really...

How come I can't cut holes in my 64 hood and slap on a max wedge scoop instead of running a max wedge with a flat hood?

It could be bogus info - I heard it word of mouth from a class racer a few years back.

We just entered these cars in the 2015 Great Race which is June 19-28. St Louis to Ca. down route 66. The green one is an unrestored two owner auto shift car with 95000 miles. Motor rebuilt at 78k miles.

The brown one is unrestored five owner stick car with 41000 miles and a fresh motor. Really only driven by the original owner. Spent most of it's life in storage.

Jim, because the scoop only came on the alum. front end cars.

Here is the pic I promised. Original owner, standing in front of Maynard Motors New Hampshire in winter of 67 with his buck tied on the trunk. Those scratches along with a few dozen others are still there. Si and Phil can't top this one!
