Current rules you’d like to see enforced

[GUMP]

No chillers outside the competitors pit space.

No pushing cars past the ready line.

[RULER]

Complete Tear down for all 1.2 under runs. Real random tear down.

The problem is a competitor may be sponsored with a pit spot at the top of staging, while you are in the back 40 at Denver/Topeka/Dallas/Atlanta/Belle Rose/Tulsa etc...

No Chillers in Staging would be a leveling of the field compromise. IMHO

Gump just out of curiosity why no chillers in the lanes?
They don't make a mess and I have never seen them slow down a race. 99% of racers have them off there cars 6-10 pair before they run. If anything they have helped speed up the deal because starting line crews are spending less time picking up ice and water off the starting line after class or heads up runs now.

As far as pushing cars, if someone has a crew willing to push them to the water box and the other car is not waiting on them then who cares.

now automatic tear downs for -1.20 runs I can get behind that. And to take it a step further any runs of -1.00 or faster should warrant an automatic carb or throttle body check. Just to keep a few LT1/L98 SS racers honest.

I 100% agree with Larry Hill you smoke the tires your out, end of story.

LT1 and L98 racers honest .......doesn't your car have a throttle body too?

Yes. Why?

Seems like it was Wesley, made a go/ no go gauge for throttle body checking. If you are used to looking at them, it is easy to see where the machining was done to enlarge one.

Just remembered: When mine was my daily driver, it had a 383” engine I built for it. A couple tenths quicker than it is as a Super Stocker. I had a 58mm (1000 cfm) throttle body on it. One time we were testing, I bolted it on my SS 350”. Did not run any quicker. The factory unit (750 cfm) is big enough. Sold the big one to a local kid.

Don’t forget the “Scale Cam” to make sure no spare tires or other removable weight bars fall out of a car after a fast run!

I had a 58mm Throttle Body left over from my 383" street engine. Wondered what it would be worth on my 350" SS engine. Track testing one day, I tried it. Was worth ZIP!.
Factory throttle body flows right at 750 CFM on my flow bench. Not many 350"s need more than that. Maybe I'm not making enough power to need more.
