X-Techman, I spoke to Norwalk at great length when all this got started.
Cannot say any names. Some in IHRA wanted to do this. Others said No.

I gave Norwalk a thorough opinion gracefully.
Was told my actions created a lot of discussion.
After the holidays they were going to discuss it.
Over the holidays other M&T PS racers got feedback from IHRA insiders and said make sure nobody does anything yet.

I think they are following our conversation.
Need to ask the Moderator if he will have a vote.
Keep the rules the Same.
Or
Change the rules.

Get a consensus..
IMHO it is clearly No Changes!

75% of pure stockers have illegal cams. IHRA does not have the specs or the time to check them. That is why they had to change the rule.

OK...NEW RULE REVISIONS !!

Just got an email from Mike Baker.
Asked me to look at the Rule Revisions !

Everything REMAINS the Same !!

Cam and Springs ... Lo Mismo !! ( the same in Spanish)

Excellent job Dan! The bone stock special order Tor-Red Challenger Classic RT 5.7 6speed sitting in my driveway under a cal cover will need some racing #s now.

Anyone know if you can squeeze a 15 inch rim over 2010 RT discs? 5 on 4.5 is pretty close to 5-115M.

NHRA has posted all of them with the updated Classification Guides.

When the rule change out before Christmas I called John at Bullet to inquire about a new cam. I didn't order it at the time but he told me that 5 guys had called that week to have new ones ground. I feel bad for those guys as I'm guessing there is no refund on those.

IHRA should have thought this one out a little longer and asked for some input.

Also, I have a hard time believing that many cams are illegal. Look at the times for the PS cars. They aren't going fast enough to have bogus cams.

Where is NHRA showing spring specs for pressure, and duration and overlap specs for cam?

The old classification guides have them and still available.
Iam helping others get the new cars data added.
Not going to be easy but it will get done.

As for cams the cam builders are being smart.

New Cars and New Cams.
Have an idea.
Somehow get a list of these new cams.
See if the Factories will send the Cam Specs or a Cam to be measured.
Contract that effort out to a Cam shop to measure and document.
Send the Data to IHRA.
