Glad to see it, but methinks this is more a PR solution than a technical one. Adding weight to the Harleys or reducing it for Buell and Suzuki is a temporary band-aid, something that doesn't address the root of the problem - the one-off, performance-enhancing parts that only those two bikes are allowed to use.
What if Whipple were to come with a wad of money, become the 'Official Supercharger of NHRA', get in bed with a prominent nitro team and then have that team show up at a race with all their cars outfitted with screw blowers? With NHRA's blessing? With the rest of the field being told to pound sand, you have to run Roots blowers? Think the other teams would be down with this idea?
The short term solution is to add/reduce weight. The long term solution is to require Harley to make their technology, and parts, available to anyone who wishes to campaign a Harley, including DOHC, 4-valve engines.
Are you guys aware that there are teams that have exclusive blowers? As well as heads, and manifolds?

Yes Alan, but is there any one team in the other professional classes that has an exclusive to an engine design? Like I said in my earler post, it would be like Mopar only allowing Alan Johnson access to the pro stock hemi engine.
What about Force's deal with his "Ford Hemis"?
What about Force's deal with his "Ford Hemis"? And weren't the Ford Mustang Nitro bodies only available to the Forces and then Tasca and Wilkerson only....??
