No Blinders

We need guys like Bruce and Wesley in tech to enforse the rules. He pissed of a lot of people, but was one of the most knowageable and honest technical inspectors for the NHRA. After market disc brakes, roller rockers, lightweight seats, and many other parts that are turning stock into what super stock was in the 70's when Bill Parmenter and I ran a 55 150 Chev post with a stock rear end and a factory 3 speed . At that time Bill and I took over tech at Madras Drag Strip. Jim Livingston made me the tech director and paid me $25.00 per race. For the large wage I brought my Mitchell manuals to verify horsepower and handled the radio advertising on KGW radio and enjoyed all of it.
Those days will never return for reasons good and bad.
