Has anyone changed their mind about AA/SA index?

No that is not an accurate statement. We are running within the rules approved by NHRA. We have to tech in just as everone else does and if NHRA gives us the thumbs up to race then we do! No ones ramming anything up anyone's butt! Sorry if your butt is a little tender.

Must be the heat.

They say the heat can make you do and say crazy things Sir...

Maybe Bruce needs more fiber in his diet !

Are we over this stupid **** about a hood yet? Who really gives a rats *** anyway it probably slows the car down.

Back to what this thread is about AA/SA.

7.0 break for AA/SA 10.60 index
7.5 break for BB/SA 10.80 index

Or 10.80 for the present AA/SA at 7.5#

Finally got to run my car today. I have some work to do but it was promising. Mostly carb tuning/ gearing/ shift points. I'll be in the thick of it real soon.

Is he reallyi as pittifyl as appearances? That is strong. Maybe past the point of no return..Now Mama (the owner is back and mad) Wants to know what is the crap about some hood. Not sure how much longer I can control her. Referring to folks a a pack-of-aaaholes. Not her normal polite method. Mama wants to know. If asked, answer/quickly/truthfuly and in full. Who did this anyway. Federal Investigation

I could get my 69 Roadrunner into AA/SA by changing it to a 68 (with appropriate hood inserts and no air grabber..of course)...and a Street Hemi. I won't do it because it would be the second worst financial decision I have made in my life. (Second to my first divorce)....IMO, raise the index.

I wasn't a Chevy dealer or even alive in 1969. But couldn't you get a cowl hood for a Camaro over the counter or installed on your small block car? I would think you could with all the other options you could get over the counter. So, why did all those cars have to change to the flat hood and try to match paint a few years ago? I'm just asking because I'm uninformed. Please do not curse me out or call me names. Btw, I ran AA this year, and would prefer 10.80.
