The track official was just covering for his cronies who wanted to continue to win with front engine cars and not have to take a year learn how to build and race their own. Stupid is as stupid does. Thank goodness Drag Racing did not balk at rear engines.

On the one hand, they hurt Jimmy by banning rear engine supers
On the other, they made that car a legend
Awesome Video!!!!
🎱 is and will always be the 🐐
so interesting to see that sponsorship wasnt a given in racing
Interesting video, they must have fixed something soon after this. I remember packed crowds throughout the 80's.
The rule? No blowers. Anything else was O.K. Man did these things go.
