"Live" from the Western Swing

Hey Larry in your new rule book (west coast edition), can you tell us what it says under torque straps in stockers? There was a article in the dragster with pictures of a 1969 Camaro after he won (?) the Winternationals this year. Anyway, in one of the pictures you can see where it had 2 straps bolted to the heads (1 on each side of the engine) going to the frame. The 2010 book i looked in said only one engine torque stap allowed on the car. With 2 straps, it works just like a front engine plate. Ironically, i think it was the dragster with the article about John Calvert that had everyone in a uproar about the wheelie bars on stockers. Guess with the hype over the wheelie bars, the pictures of the Camaro didnt get looked at closely? Hope you and Patsy have a good time out west. Maybe i'll see you at Indy again this year.
