Mr. Billy, I'm certainly not on here to aggravate you guys. But, with my simple country boy thinkin, it just seems to me like a good idea to ask people who know Stockers, about Stockers, rather than paying NHRA $70 or whatever to join NHRA, then read a rule book which I may not even understand, then find out that I can't build a Stocker that will run under. Now if I had plenty of $$ to blow, I'd spare no expense. I rather tell ya'll about the super clean car I found for $5000 and the $4000 paint job I was gonna get, and the $15000 Parsons and Myers engine I was gonna buy and the $3000 TH200, and etc, etc, etc. But unfortunately, that is not the case. FAR from it. But, isn't that part of the fun--trying to run the index on a very small budget.

Is that just stupid thinkin or what ? I could read a rule book a hundred times--even memorize it, word for word, and would still not learn any of the little tricks you guys know about Stockers.

So, if I have offended any, with my questions or this thread in any way, I apologize. For the time being, I'll ask a few more questions. If you guys had rather not answer them, I understand and hold no grudge. If I get no more helpful answers, I'll just back on outa here and not bother ya'll any more.

Many thanks to all who have been patient with me and have answered my dumb questions !
