It's to bad that people with a disagreement don't just call one another and settle the problem in private. I was always told that you don't wash your laundry in public. Politics and games have ruined drag racing for the majority of us.

I have no dog in this hunt. My dogs ain't as good as either. I didn't read the whole string, so bare with me. NHRA considers the 428 with iron heads and aluminum heads as the same instead of two different engines as in the case of the 396 iron/aluminum engines. I think this is wrong and over the last year or maybe longer I have partitioned NHRA to treat the 428 and others and hopefully when (2057) Mopar gets a replacement head ( now that is my dog) that the combo would be treated the same as the Chevy and not the Fords. That is each combo is it's own engine family. If that were done, Charlie & company as well as Hawk & associates could do what they wanted and wouldn't have to type so much. That is the basic's of the problem; the details take to long without refreshment. But I have a new approach; Now that Ford is the car of choice of NHRA, maybe another letter.
