Spoke to NHRA today. They have agreed to allow Traction Masters to prevent "violent and uncontrolled rear leaf spring windup" as per rule pages 1957, however Cal Tracs are gone. Sorry. If you don't know what Traction Masters are, you are too young anyway.

Power perceived, is power archived
Let's rename stock to the bitch and moan club.

Keep trying to change the subject boys! The subject is LD340 intakes in Stock Eliminator. That's S.T.O.C.K. E.L.I.M.I.N.A.T.O.R.
Not Comp or SS or ET-2.
Come on Chrysler guys, you can say it! S.T.O.C.K. E.L.I.M.I.N.A.T.O.R.

If I remember right, my 70-1/2 Z28 had an aluminum intake with the little w on it, so did my 69 , can't remember if the 67 S/S 396-375 did or not, 95% sure it did. Do they run stock eliminator?
STOCK ELIMINTOR (not doing the dots) is the body only now, 30 years ago you had a valid argument, not today. IMO

Billy, now pay attention: The subject is you and yours whining cause you got No Mopar. I don't know which page you missed where some of the more intelligent posters realized that the subject had rolled over. Obviously you didn't. Since you are an original stuff only guy, I assume you would take up the torch for all parts, bodies, rule adjustments that are just not to some racers likings even thought they don't have a car or a car in the pack? From here on, please pay attention so I don't have to reel you back into groove.

Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, It is you and yours who aren't paying attention. The SUBJECT is the 68-70 340s having an AFTERMARKET (says so right in Galen Glovier's book) manifold approved for use in STOCK Eliminator. Now maybe you can get one of your "more intelligent posters" to explain the difference in definition between AFTERMARKET and REPLACEMENT. The LD340 is an AFTERMARKET manifold not a REPLACEMENT manifold.
Now, if you are serious about "taking up the torch for all parts, bodies, rule adjustments that are just not to some racers liking), I'm in. You can send me a P.M. with your phone number or let me know and I'll P.M. you with mine and a good time to call and I'm sure that we can straighten out a whole bunch of s**t. But don't try and B.S. me and don't waste my time.
OBTW, Mr. Glovier's book is approved by Chrysler so it HAS to be right. Am I right or are all of those Mechum and B.J. cars all suspect?

Billy - I get the fact that you're trying very hard to change the direction that Stock eliminator is headed and I agree with some of what you're saying .But eliminating that manifold isn't going to change anything except how YOU feel about it .And lets face facts - I'm not aware of you having any skin in that game and you're pissing off many who do .It should be up to the competitors in D-E-F-G-H to complain to the NHRA .And I'm sure there are plenty of Chevrolet and Ford combos that fit in those classes .

[Billy Nees]

Jack, if the addition of this or any intake manifold or aftermarket part can affect the performance of a combo, it can affect where and how that car qualifies. That means that it can affect where and how I qualify. It also affects who I race, when I race and the outcome of the race. Same deal as if a completely illegal car makes it onto a Q-sheet. Where I'm going with this is if I have to qualify against a combo, then I've got "skin in the game".
And when have you ever known me to be afraid of pissing some people off?
