Yeah, Wesley lived close to our local track. I'm sure glad he wasn't doing the teching there in '75. He'da run everybody off, including us.

Re: Items allowed by NHRA over the years
Hey guys, when did NHRA start allowing aftermarket blocks, forged rods and pistons, and even alum heads to replace some of the rare, expensive iron heads ?

Learned its long as my stuff was right, they were my friends. I still talk to Wesely. I think he is pretty cool. Very bright. I still ask him for advice at times.

Re: Items allowed by NHRA over the years
At Dallas we were torn down in the hot sun just outside the tent, tired, we were all done but couldn't find the 3/8 box, took intake off, no 3/8 but did find a small screwdriver; 3/8 was under the front tire....ugh!
Anyway Wesley was throwing out somebody and the wife was bawling and pleading to check another hole, Wesley says, Ma'am when we check a good one we don't go looking for a bad one.... |

Re: Items allowed by NHRA over the years
Wesley made a good point. LOL
One year, at Ennis, Wesley came over to ask if I would help push a car in a trailer, parked near to me. He says "Don't say anything. He tried to set a record, and didn't pass tear down. He ain't happy." I just quietly helped push the car. Every hole, every port, every chamber has to be right. Guys crack me up putting everything dead on the minimums. One thou deck, one cc won't slow you down. Checking at a different temp can sure get you thrown one if you have no cushion.
