You mean nitrous isn't okay? Damn, I guess I'll have to just huff all  
those bottles.

transmission replacement is a constant argument. I come down on the  
side of "why break the few remaining good ones racing them". The  
toyota trannys are as common as belly buttons, and don't break. I  
know, I know, slippery slope, and why wouldn't a guy with a 1908  
diffenbacher--woolsey 30/50 then be allowed to run a small block  
chebbie. My answer is guys with pukka  race cars accept a higher  
standard when they choose to engage, modified production car guys  
don't. And if you screw with your diffenbacher too much you'll be  
ostracized by the entire Woolsley community and it won't be worth  
squat, whereas an unmolested 917 can provide retirement income for a  
mid-sized town.

It's a spectrum, not black and white, and I applaud SVRA for having a  
rational rule instead of a blanket ban. I'm still going to run 4 speed  
TR boxes in Peyote, but if i get tired of spending as much for a  
transmission as I used to for a whole motor, then there's an option.
