Stocker carb, removing choke plate ok ?

Back in 95 at the Summers in E Town I was pitted at the far end of the spectator side as there were about 140 cars in stock and after winning 3rd round that Sunday afternoon we were told we had about a half hour to cool and be in the lanes for 4th round, temp was in the high 80s. I was heading around the outer lane to cross over to the spectator side when Wesley stopped me and thought it would be a great time to spend 20 minutes going through my carbs as well as other things. I had just enough time to reach my pit and fuel up and when I reached the staging lanes I was near boiling over. I had a great light and the better by far but the car died in high gear due to overheating and I ran a tenth off my dial flat out. I'll always remember Wesley.
