    The last set of heads I got for my racer were dart 9*(maybe 11*) raw castings with just the chambers cnc machined----At least it beat having to weld on them for 30 hours like we used to do--

    Well, gee whiz!!!! Now we find out that all you would have had to do is get a set of them store bought CNC'd heads and you would have run faster!!!!! Some guy on the internet said so, so it must be the truth, right?????????????

    I tell ya about duplications issues doing it by hand,I give ya percentages doing it by hand,I tell you NO the programs have simulations where they are computer generated for air flows,I give you a source from where the info came from,and yet you ignore all that and still ..........................

    Jerry-our 7.90 deal if allowed to run out the back door would likely be 7.50's or 7.40's.

    It's sad these fan club "likes". Really kind of childishness.

    Kind of forced to run a breakout class or brackets these days to race locally... Not enough money to go run a Pro Class, so if we want to race around here breakout's and indexes are the only game in town... Sure is fun to get in a grudge race or the occasional heads up gambler's race once in awhile. If it was all "run what ya brung, and hope ya brung enough" I'm afraid it'd just come down to the biggest checkbook wins...

    Oh yeah, and still fun to occasionally go out and play on a Saturday night---no tech lines, no scales, no breakouts---just look out for the cops!!!!!!

    I had NOT see or read this before now.I do agree with Dave and the biggest check book idea.But now even the "sportsman" classes are not cheap anymore.If you where to price out on racingjunk a competitive 9.90 or 7.90 car it isn't a cheap form of racing like when the classes where first introduced.

    Dave because of missing this post,I am saying I am sorry.

    70chevybb,
    Forgive my ignorance here, but did you stay with the iron heads 116 cc or are you in planning still?

    I know I said I was done, but I just gotta ask. Exactly who is "We", Gary?? You keep mentioning this mysterious partner, and that you've run faster than everyone else for the last 50 years, but it seems it's just been words? Can you post some pictures of the cars, or load up your gallery? Do I recall you mentioned owning or being "partners" in a top fuel rail? Can we see it? What's the car you're bracket racing now? Can we see it? Pleeeeeeze, Gary??? Just sayin', a picture's worth a thousand words, and we're a bunch of pictures shy.

    Really?? You did that here on CHR?? Golly, I don't recall that, but if you say so I'm sure it's true. Must have been when I was on vacation or something. OK, guess we'll just have to believe everything's on the up and up... So can you maybe post some records showing your name on a track web site, or maybe at NHRA.com? Anything that does not violate your confidentiality agreement?? Probably not, huh? Those confidentiality agreements can be a bitch!!
