If it was only a week or so between Hockers and the August BH event at SPR, Rune may have had to pull FC headers out of stock to make the event? (Remember, that car was Rune's first 'Long car', and he perhaps hadn't built up such an inventory of spares).
August 1988 and Liv Berdstad comes out in Rune Fjeld's newly acquired dragster which was a early 88 built. model.
Liv had already done a few shakdown passess in Sweden and on Sunday run the car to a 5.72@224.
Note the funnycar headers.
