Ok then, so a Holley decal on a stocker doesn't mean it uses a Holley carb?

Yeah I know the performance is far from stock, but they use stock components right? Which of course are refined as you said.

Its like the yellow pages, if they want you to advertize their product, they will pay you, If your car looks bad because of bad paint, they will cover it up very nicely. Why trash a nice paint job for a few hundred bucks, thats if you can win or ru, unless your Dan F. and you make your living doing it.

We dont run any on our Belvedere. We tried placing "temporary" stickers @ the Dallas national last year, however the stickers seem to cover up all the hard work we have put into the car the past years.

I think some people who are true hobby racers or just chasing time slips don't want to deal with the BS. I hear more guys complaining about the contingency program than appluading it, so maybe it's just not worth it.

Some of the requirements are just stupid. Example: the part is clearly visable on the car, been on the entire event along with a "properly placed not-stacked" decal and they won't pay because the owner doesn't have an original proof of purchase. Please...

Seems like the Manufacters and NHRA has done everything in their power to actually discourage racers participating.
