Re: Lawsuit over cylinder heads
The tech dept has no doubt found many illegal items only to be overridden by the powers that be. Why? More than likely to avoid lawsuits by the competitor towards his engine builder. When push came to shove, the engine builder did not talk to the techman who found the illegal item. The engine builder went straight to the top and confronted the powers that be saying the illegal part had passed tech many times before. Of course those many times before may not have been in tear down but in tech at a points meet probably by a guy who normally teched S/G. Now that some real rules with some teeth in it have been proposed they start rubbing the engine builders the wrong way and all #### breaks loose.

Re: Lawsuit over cylinder heads.
It would be interesting to know what Mr Gulius motivation to bring a law suit against NHRA. Money, respect. I know he closed his business down supposedly because of this head issue. He is 75 years old. His stuff was always very fast but sometimes didn’t pass tear down. I know of some that got their privilege suspended that were his customers.

It baffles me how this thread keeps going with very little and/or no knowledge about the facts. As I have pointed out previously, to other posters on here, please refrain from making statements you are not educated on. If you would like the facts, although I doubt any of the parties involved will tell you, go get them from the source. If not, your speculative BS is exactly that...BS, and you know who you are! Never heard so many people love the sound of their own voice...keyboard!

Re: Lawsuit over cylinder heads
Kevin, my Pop passed away in 2005, still feisty at 98, he coined a colloquialism for the phenomenon you describe. He would say, "Sounds like a man with a paper asshole on a windy day!" Took years for me to understand what he was talking about but then one day I heard it...
