Question on 1978 & 1977 Chevy Nova 350

[Bruce Noland]

The ahfs has suffered more abuse at the hands of nhra than a lab rat could ever sustain. One reason the numbers get out of whack is because the nhra guys decided they want to hit a certain racer or racers. They will then hook his/her combo up with anything that they can use to justify their actions. They absolutely don't care if the racers believe it or not. I received a couple hits that way. Knowing their little game - I called to ask for an explanation and all they had for me was authentic western gibberish. Finally after a long debate the guy said look you're getting power. I asked, but what about the other car that you used for a trigger. It had a higher average than mine and you didn't hit the other car. His answer was you're getting power and said good bye. Corrupt little game these fellers play. Then on the other hand the inept dorks in Glendora/Indy will sit on their thumbs and watch a guy sandbag for a year and give him more than 20 horsepower off - while the guy bragged about it to anyone who would listen. The best way to avoid these gophers is to race a unique combination.
