I know that I am not alone in thinking that Stock Eliminator has gone way, way, too leinient will the rules and the "enhanchments" some vocal racers have been claiming they need to be competetive with the "Brand X, Y, Z" cars. I never met "Farmer" Dismuke, but he certainly sounds like the kind of guy that strived to keep the STOCK in Stock Eliminator. Too bad his hard line on the rulebook has been so erroded over the years. Sometimes It seems that Stock is headed to become nothing more than a small tire bracket class, without a hood scoop. I don`t think thats a good thing, do you? Also, since you are so worried about crashing, I`m sure that all your bumper hardware, door guard beams, and undercarrige bracing still intact, right?

Re: Stock seat clarification please
Percentage wise, out of all the drag strip passes in a year, how many Stock Eliminator cars actually crash? You can't compare road racing or any other motorsport so that argument for light weight seats doesn't wash. I agree with Rory in that all the allowed "safety" and other improvements have long ago taken "Stock" out of Stock Class racing. I still thnk there is something wrong with a system that lets a Stock car cross over into Super Stock and still be a legitimate qualifier. Seems like one and the same car to me.

Re: Stock seat clarification please
I missed the subject on the post last year......thanks for the reply.........I don't know how they let super stock have it and not stock but I will not have a heart attack over it.....the worse thing to ever happen to stock and super stock racing was when they let head cheaters push them into the ported head rule in super stock.......it is happening now in stock all over again so we might as well join them if you can't beat them. It is only money.

Re: Stock seat clarification please
Right on Dartman....and with time to replace my helmet I got the SA rated full face version. Seeing Bill Riddle's demon ( Ken Etter's crash at Fontana) in person was the key reason for taking all the variables out that I can. Folks who assume a G car (and slower) can't get in a horrific accident need to review that one.
