A prime example would be a red Olds stocker that recently moved from the west coast to the east coast. It has been through tech many times and always passes. I believe it just won a divisional as well. But it clearly has a narrowed rear axle and altered frame rails. There is no other G body car that sits as low to the ground and has the tire clearance this car does. How is that possible??

A simple check of the distance between the backing plates and between the wheel wells may shed some light on this. But NHRA NEVER checks these things. They must not own a tape measure.

I doubt they even care about bogus stuff like that. Otherwise they wouldn't allow even half the junk they do. So I say, stick the nine inch Ford in. IF they catch it, as for forgiveness.

A copy and paste of the rulebook means exactly what it reads. If a housing is narrower than specified it is clearly illegal for use...period.
