Re: Could Top Stock Come Back?
We ran Top Stock at Indy open in 2009, I believe. Can't remember the sponsor but it was very much fun even though we needed a little more steam. Would love to see it come back.

Re: Could Top Stock Come Back?
I wouldn't limit the years and would just have traditional stockers eligible, NO FS cars. There is newer than 2001 cars in the guide that were massed produced. That's what would be neat is to see new vs old muscle.

I would enjoy taking you up on your offer to meet at Gainesville, but can't do so at this time. Work and time won't allow at this point. Don't let that stop your progress with this. There will be a few obstacles you'll have to endure, Maybe you should reach out to Mr. Dave Ley and get some insight from him. At this point in time I would say he's the Subject Matter Expert. Please continue to fight the good fight. Have a Great Day. Respectfully, Henry Kunz 1534 H/SA Last edited by Henrys Toy; 02-08-2023 at 12:37 PM. |

Re: Could Top Stock Come Back?
We had it at the IHRA National events we had at Grand Bend it was great. From what I knew the tech was very hard to police, it's hard to find people that want to spend all night taking their engines apart . It's also hard to take the oil pan off on first gen cars.

Re: Could Top Stock Come Back?
I put some sponsorship money up in 2006- 2007 with Dick Butler when he was really trying to get it going with NHRA. I even built a 2003 Cobra for the class, but it all kinda faded away. When they ran at the US Class Nationals in 2001 it was awesome!! Hopefully some day it can be reality and stick around.
