Returning to Stock

Steve Polhill · 07-17-2017, 12:24 PM

Hey Guys long time no see LOL. While the Comp car is side lined due to Holes in the block and I'm saving money to fix it I figured I'd pull the Escort out of retirement for a few races and enjoy myself.

My question is has anything changed rule wise while I was away?

Aluminum Radiators are now allowed on any Stocker.

Not sure what year you last raced, but matching racing seats ( with covers) are now allowed.

Solid lifters

If its been a while:

Your index may have changed
You may have raced when two step could be launched off a button....off the brake pedal now.
collector tethers if your collector isn't welded
you can bore up to 80 over
might be other things too

It's been about 3 years since I last raced stock so not that awful long.

Although I did forget about the Tethers. I'll rob the one of the comp car or do a couple quick welds on the collector.

No worried about the 2 step button. I don't run a 2 step and it's a clutch car.

Bring it to Stanton this weekend for the combo race

I was thinking about it but there is a Stock/Super stock race at my local track this weekend. The Motorhome has been giving a few issues lately so I want to make sure it's OK before I take it too far.

Your local track is St Thomas Dragway. and yes the Can-Am Stock/Super Series is having a double this weekend. Bring it, the more the merrier
