How can that be?

WTF
Modified firewall illegal
He didn’t move it back or forward Gary made it beautiful
I pride myself in my car under the car outside inside and under the hood
What kind of firewall is in your super Comp car. ?
Stay in your lane And don’t throw stones at people whose cars could win most car shows And Go Fast.
This was about Gary’s performance. The firewall is just an excuse to get Gary thrown out

Removing things like heater boxes, or whatever stock equipment might be on the firewall, are not always able to be fixed with just a flat sheet of sheet metal, nor does that look good! If the firewall is not moved from stock location, who gives a **** if it’s “pretty”? We spend a ton of money on these cars just to make them look good, who cares if the firewall is completely smooth with Bondo? I have a bunch of ****ty looking stock holes on my firewall I would love to cover up and have painted nicely, zero performance advantage!! Like James said, this was about someone crying about his combo and NHRA let it happen.
