Refer to:

Stock Cars

Section 9A

Engine: 1

Page 136 (05/08)

Camshaft/Lifters: Delete last sentences of paragraph and replace with "Larger diameter pushrods permitted. Pushrod guide plates permitted. Cylinder head may be clearenced for larger diameter pushrods."

Yes, but what about rockers? What rockers are legal with studs and guide plates?

Id rather see the LT1 Nova accepted rather than the Roush Mustang. They should let the Yenko/Moton/Dana Cars run AA/SA.

Yep...let me get the popcorn...so, while you are at it, why don't get rid of the Buick GN's and T-Types, and also the 1989 Turbo Firebird, or Mark Yacavone's Turbo 4-banger, or Neil Smedly's previous Turbo Firebird, or the Turbo FWD Dodges...let's also get rid of all the F.I. cars too.

The Roush cars are no more different than the new S/C Shelby Mustang...so, let's also ban them too!!!

Decal on cover of original folder from Yenko Chevrolet...

Original option sheet published by Yenko Chevrolet...funny thing is, aside from the "elaborate decals", the optional hood tach, and the emblems, everything else arrived on the cars from Chevrolet, and was straight regular production stuff...as a matter of fact, the 2 LT-1 Novas that went to Canada were equipped exactly the same as the Yenko Deuces, sans the stripes/emblems, and were sold through regular Chevrolet dealers north of the border...

I guess the issue is Wally probably knew Yenko was lying (as evidenced by this letter). Yenko emphatically states 500 were built. We know for a fact there were only 177 built.
But I'm all for allowing the corporate approved parts and packages. I'm curious, if I looked at the 1970 AMA specifications for the Nova / Chevy II, does it have the LT-1 listed as an option? Because as far as I can tell, back in the day, if an item wasn't listed in the AMA specifications, it just didn't exist as far as NHRA was concerned. Likewise, if an item was listed, it should be as good as gold to NHRA.

Chevy 454; Please package all of your documentation and send it to me. I will contact GM, provide your info and ask them to apply for the inclusion of the Duece in the SCCG. It must be done this way; (protocal you know.) This sometimes is a slow process but now is a much better time to try than 1970; many things have changed in NHRA regarding this process.

You have alot of anger and you need help. You need to get out more and stop stitting by the computer looking for things to complain about. I dont think there is one thread on this board that you haven't replied to in an "angry" manner. Relax. Classracer is for information and to see whats going on in the world of NHRA/IHRA....Not for internet wars. Crack a cold one and relax brother.
