So, you falsely accused Jimmy of making up rules. Jimmy asked NHRA if the additional HP made his car legal to run SS/B, and NHRA told him yes, and passed it through tech as being legal.



Oh, the reason the NHRA official told Jimmy he could move was because the HP was put on the combination strictly by him, so that official said that the HP was on the aluminum heads, because Jimmy had only run the aluminum heads and he was the only one running the combination.




Funny, Dallas Kelly never complained about Jimmy running SS/B. Neither did A.H. Adkins. Neither did Steve Kent or J. Allen Sherman. The hitters in SS/B never seemed to be bothered by Jimmy Bridges being in the class with them.

Alan,

Thank you for confirming he is racing a combo that doesn't exist in the guide. If another racer builds this combo, which NHRA tech official do they ask to run this special class and combo?

BTW I have nothing but upmost respect for Jimmy however his merits or circumstances doesn't make him exempt from the rules that everyone else has to adhere too.

Fred is right on this
