Are thick head gaskets legal for compression correction?

¨ It seems like a reasonable request is to have the wording changed to "Cylinder head gasket(s) may be replaced with any gasket(s) having at least the same total compressed thickness as stock."
Should include less than .100 total so as to keep my angle milled head shim out of play. Stacked stock style gaskets should be allowed for any car 20yrs or older.

That's a rule change, and a change in the basic philosophy of the class. Regardless of if/when the request is submitted, note that it cannot be approved prior to the 2015 racing season.

No one else is interested in the idea. If you want it, write your letter to the CRB and it will be considered.
