Default My 2 cents

I think that the Warp 6 head should not be allowed in the heads up race at Norwalk. Only because they are not available to the general public, only the few who they want to have them can have them this far , or so it seems. JMO.

And no im not running in it next year , that's not the reason for this post.

Are the old RA V heads available to the general public?
The old early SD stuff?

Just because YOU don't have a set, don't cr@p on others.



Oh, and just my 2 cents worth.

John, why would someone want to run that old junk in a heads up race?

You make no sense at all!

Only to you???


Because you don't understand something, doesn't make it nonsense.



I think the rules were for Pontiac power, not run only what ECM guys want.



Maybe they should outlaw all the welded non-cast intake manifolds?

From the peanut gallery.
Got to go with j1 on this topic. Your going down a slippery slope when you OUTLAW one type cylinder head for one race. Tall, Wide, Round, Canted. Thay are all customs. Then no tall or short decks. Next stop NASCAR.
Then you could pick teams.

Just KRE has them so "potential" is probably hampered there!

Bans and restrictions limit innovation . In a heads-up class, I think anything that will bolt to a Pontiac style block should be allowed. There are plenty of limited classes with all kinds of rules about what you can and can't run. Even if your not a fan of the Warp 6 or the guys that make them, show them the door on the race track in a heads-up format. Go get them!
