Here is an interesting letter.

Background:
When NHRA turned down his request to run Super Stock (another interesting letter), he turned to AHRA. They turned him down at first also. He sent a number of letters asking that they reconsider. He finally got them to agree to review the heads in late 76.
They wanted to inspect a head, an intake, proof they were not “experimental” and all the specifications.

He sent a letter to Alex Mair asking for help.
He asked:
1) How many engines were made and how many were put in cars?
2) How many were manufactured?
3) For what purpose?
4) Were the heads available over the parts counter?

This letter at least got AHRA to believe they were made. He then needed Tom Nell’s help with the specifications.
