T&T was always $50when we went on a Saturday the only time it was $100 was on the all day Friday T&T's

If it has not changed Tech was usually one of the Porteus brothers or Tall Paul. All of whom who work for NHRA so not going to sneak a helmet by them.

Well, as Al mentioned You're not gonna 'sweet talk' Your way passed Tech at Sac. It's already Saturday morning, So I hope You can swing by Tognotti's or borrow a helmet on this short notice. Order from Summit Sparks NV and You'll have it the next day.

Is Summit still shipping anything to Cali After what is happening to Jegs Id expect them both to at least charge more to cover the fines from CARB

Racer prices still low and delivery to Nor Cal is still amazing for almost overnight on anything. What happened on the CARB deal with Jegs? Fines?

You're right. I spoke to Paul last night. He said Snell 2010 or 2015 is required. Oh well. I'll just go for a nice long cruise today instead. I'll head out to the track on March 31st. It should be quieter anyway with the track closed the next day.

Jegs was fined $1.7 million dolalrs by CARB for selling non emissions legal parts to people in Commifornia. So don't be surprised if you end up with a surcharge eventually or we will all get to pay more for everything.

Ouch! Seems like that would be hard to prove. I smell a rat...

Read the article, it was all started by a rat....Not sure Jegs could prove the parts ended up on a racecar only, and we both know there are millions of cars in Cali that have such parts on them. Any trip to Sac or Sonoma on a given Wednesday night would likely show many licensed cars are equipped with such part, not to mention diesel trucks. Remember emissions controls in California started in 1967

hmmm.... living on the border maybe it's time for a lucrative "part broker" business.

"PSST....... hi ya pal !" [while opening trench coat] guy on street : "is that a cat eliminator pipe, or are ya just glad to see me ?"

Thanks for posting that CARB story Al. It got me to cuss out loud at my computer screen. But it does help to know your enemy.

Al Missed it by a could years... 1965.... GM installed AIR pumps..And we knew way back thin it was a crock of crap....

I am for sure wrong in Cali, however most states start emissions testing standards with the 1967 model year(suppose my reason for singling out that year), like Nevada and Arizona etc.

Pretty sure to be completely technical California emissions standards were implemented for the 1961 Model year in California only with the introduction of a mandated PCV valve.

Al is correct on this I bought a used 1959 Dodge Coronet in 1962 or 1963 (CRS) that had a add on PCV conversion installed on it by the used car lot that I bought if from in San Bernardino,CA.
They didn't even remove the intake manifold when they drilled two holes into it for fittings for the PCV vacuum line connected to a T vacuum fitting
I was working in a service station in SO CA and we got into installing those kits back then
