Gatornats PSM Performance Triggered NHRA Parity Review (1 Viewer)

The Ford 500 isn't a different configuration from what everybody else runs, it's a Hemi block with some reinforcing, basically. If they were running a specially designed Cosworth-Ford 4 valve engine and everybody else was stuck running a 2 valve Hemi, then you'd have a valid comparison to what's taking place in PSM.
"...and finally, we have a winner". That pretty much sums up the whole problem.

Was just thinking about everything DSR is going through to get their enclosed cockpit approved and wonder if V&H/H-D had to go through the same approval process.

Probably apples to oranges but did NHRA say DSR had to make these available to all teams? Seems like the reverse of the Harley issue.
