Subject: Re: Splayed valve and pro stock-type heads

For this next race, we are not going to let these heads run. I still am waiting for an answer to how many names you can come up with who would race if we let them run. Send me e-mails and let me know if you REALLY would like to race with us and REALLY have a car with these heads that would fit the rules. I haven't had EVEN ONE call or e-mail in this regard.

I want as many cars as possible to come out and try us on. If we can show a good response, Glen will make a place for us in his next year's plan. Now this is on you. If you are holding out, all you are doing is making sure that there is no place for these types of cars to run heads up.

Show us some POSITIVE response here, we need your support.

[> [> John is absolutely correct. I see a lot of math majors out there but I have not seen anyone say, "Yes, I want to race. What do I have to do to get my car in?" It's like trying to make rules for cars that don't exist. Time to step up guys, what do you want to do? -- Mark, 19:17:07 10/04/02 Fri [1]

I know of Three cars That can't play and are interested. One splayed motor (me) and two big blocks with big chiefs( Lonnie Sumner and David Wallace) I believe there are others in the Austin area but can't talk for them! Lets talk up guys! Why can't the splayed valve guys run with the big blocks ? Looks like about the same HP. If one car dominates add weight to equalize, Maybe average the top few cars and make the runaway add weight to bring him/her back to the average without killing him/her This would allow a close program
Like you know everone will not be happy but at least get a car count. To any one who thinks this will not be expensive.
Don't be foolish! Everyone will be forced to get the max out of their combo. or just be happy to show up. If you don't spend money over the next guy plan on not winning! Speed costs money ! Sometimes more money can be spent on inferior heads than needed. THEIR PARTS MUST BE IMPROVED OVER THE NEXT GUYS AND WILL ALWAYS BE SKILL OR MORE MONEY TO BUY SKILL TO GAIN AN ADVANTAGE. ADD WEIGHT TO ALL WAY OUT OF SIGHT AND MAKE IT A TIGHT PROGRAM. AVERAGE THE TOP CARS AND EQUALIZE WITH AFFORDABLE WEIGHT. THIS CAN ALWAYS BE ADDED OR REMOVED AS EVERYONE CATCHES UP. CLOSE FAST COMPETITION WILL MAKE THIS PROGRAM!

[> Re: Marvin...We are searching for a middle ground for all. The problem with the exotic style heads is that they are cost prohibitive for most. You refer to car count, but I seem to recall that the pro gas guys started to fall out after the "comp motors" showed up. We are looking at every option for next year, and will try to come up with a plan for all. Just don't want to exclude a bunch to al;low a few... see what I mean? We would love for you and the Big Chief guys to play with us... just have to figure out a fair way. -- John Harrison, 06:31:24 10/05/02 Sat [1]
