The "issues" facing S/SS racing (IMHO) have far more to do with the "elitist snobs" who want to keep changing the "rules" to benefit themselves and the people who are letting them get away with it.

And "hating" is a pretty strong word. You don't know me THAT well.

I hope this doesn't come from the spirit of the original post. Because if you think it's a bad thing trying to get a head legal that we can actually get, just say that.

IMHO, if a Racer is racing a certain combo then said Racer should have parts to maintain that combo. If the parts to maintain that combo no-longer exist then maybe it's time to change your combo. UNLESS EVERY combo is given access to the SAME REPLACEMENT parts.
Just because a Racer is running a popular combo shouldn't (it does) entitle said Racer to be allowed to use parts in his combo that aren't available for every combo.

Your upset with the wrong people.

Same could be said to pick a combo that allows the replacement parts.

We can go around and around. The powers that be control everything.

This casting will never be approved, and we will never be able to save the racer $3000.. It was all about availability and money trying to attract more to this class.

I have no dog in this hunt but the precedent has been set for allowing lots of aftermarket parts that are a lot different than the parts they replace. One example I can think of is the Edlebrock Pontiac heads with the round separated exhaust ports for the D port motors in super stock. Super Stock can now work the chambers so as long as the valves are roughly in the same place, everything measures right and they are the right valve angle what’s wrong with allowing heads with better material.

NHRA has the Edlebrock heads legal for stock for the 67-70 small block Chevy with as cast ports of 185cc and the legal number is 165cc. Looking at this from a cynics viewpoint I think maybe Edlebrock is being treated differently than other folks. What’s fair for the goose is fair for the gander!

Since the rules let the head porter modify it almost however he wants does that really matter? It really comes down to does the port come in under the max cc's. If so then it is good.
