Stocker Head Rule Change????

[Bob Pagano]

Jeff,
Looks like Chad's reaction time was better than yours... :~) This sounds like some racers that have told the teacher what to do. I would be calling a Div Tech or national Tech dept to check this out if I were in his shoes. That sounds like too much departure from Stocker heads & current rules. More like Super Stock.
Sure would surprise me if they (NHRA) allowed something like this.

Head rule for 2009, I was told they were not pouring intake or exhaust runner, and no specs, like super stock, They can pour runner if they want, no welding or grinding in ports, but no spec`s like SS for runner size, combustion chamber will checked per nhra rule. vavle rules same as 2008, But by 2010 they may change rules again, to SS runner size, you never known what they may do?

I am getting some good information about the stocker head rules for 2009. I am going to have my son talk with the teacher of his clas more on this topic, and I hope I will have more to add next week when he come home again. It may be that the couple of stocker this teacher is doing the heads for are just doing this change for 2009. Thanks

I further reveiw of this rule change I find that the teacher at UNOH was very upset that I posted this on Class Racer. I guess I was just trying to find out if indeed the rule was going to be changed per what he quoted to the class. I would think that a teacher would teach these kids the right way in class.I feel there is no reason to get upset with my son, when he was just stated to me that there may be a rule change for 2009. My son understands that I am trying to keep up with the change, so at sometime we will be able to race again in NHRA.
