[Shotimes] Annie goes solo too

[Ron Porter]

3.2 in an MTX is legal? How is that? Considered a legal overbore?

Who needs to mess with brake plugs, EH runners and other stuff when you can
legally cheat with a 3.2??

FWIW, there was a Peter Egan story a few years back about one of the cars he
was building for a stock class (don't remember the car or the
engine......Formula Ford, maybe??). Anyway, he went to get a stock, legal
camshaft done for him. Guy asked him if he wanted that, or the cheater
'stock" grind with a faster ramp (but still with stock lift & duration) that
all of the other racers wee running? Yeah, it's cheating I guess, but the
parts meet the specs in the rules, even though they are being "bent" a bit.

Dancing around the rules probably started with the first-ever racing class.
Smokey Yunick made a career of it!!

3.2L is legal. That is the stupid part. In addition, the 26mm rear bar,
unless
it came on that car, moves you as well.

  Or a 3.2L...  Oooops~

  Any specific reason the SHO isn't competitive?
