[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1901946, member: 93138"] Racing philosophers call it the "Green Valve Cover" syndrome. The guy who wins the big race happens to have painted his valve covers green. Must be a speed secret there, so the next race has a lot of green valve covers. My old next door neighbor used to do stuff like that specifically to mess with his competitors. I recall he once cut the rocker covers in half, and then had them welded back together. Most of the other racers went nuts thinking that he'd done something to the cylinder heads that caused him to have to modify the rocker covers and they were so distracted trying to figure out what he'd done that they didn't race very well. 6.375 Xanadu wins two comps in a row, so there must be some competitive edge there. Next comp a bunch of guys have 6.375 Xanadu's never understanding that it was the 'driver' of the rifle who had the competitive edge, not the chambering. [/QUOTE]
