    (end of rules)

    The rules this year cleaned up a lot of the mistakes of last year's. About the only difference is that shocks are allowed this year. This is the first year of sealing both the motor and windshield. Cams can be reground to stock. Ball bearing fourth mains are allowed this year. Still no superchargers though! Carburetors were limited to Kingston, Holley or Ford. What else was there?
