Boy that is one gorgeous engine. I hate those age limits NHRA places on things. Helmets, belts, etc, etc... - Doesn't matter if they are still new. It drives up the cost and keeps people from wanting to enter the sport. I want everyone to be safe but unless they're dating food I think these standards are ridiculous. It's especially cost prohibitive if you're an occasional weekend warrior.
