Yes..for big tires ...in Super/Stock.

Stockers are supposed to look, well, you know.... STOCK!

This is at the top of my list by far. I was closer than I liked to being a victim of this.

Super Stock is allowed to do just about they want in the backhalf.

But Stock, narrowing the rear, what does it gain? Still have to run a 9" tire, pulling them in an inch, what purpose does it serve?

Not asking for a friend, asking to learn. I have worked on Stockers and been around them quite a bit, not seeing what performance advantage a narrower rear is going to serve.

Now start looking at other areas where lots of people are "cheating", that is a whole 'nother story!

To what other areas are you referring? and if you "KNOW" others are cheating why are you not protesting them and helping police the sport?

Housing width ...
let’s see makes a vehicle that cannot accept a 9” tire a workable combination
Allows car to be lowered in cases
Allows less rotating mass as axles are shorter

And the big one > it’s a f$&@king rule dip****s you don’t get to pick which ones to follow

Jesus ... really hoping they get handle on the BS :(

Joey my throttle body is so big on my CJ i don’t think if it were bigger it would help. Now putting one of those (big) custom made California throttle bodys that look like a factory GM one is worth about .10-.12 on a ss or so I’m told.
Captain your right let get back to company correct rear ends. While we’re righting wrongs let’s take away all those three speed to those guys that never had three speed factory equipped cars.

Okay, Mr. "cm". You asked and I'll tell you.
BTW, this rule has been quite clear for 40 years now.

Some guy comes along and decided he doesn't like, for whatever reason. He puts a narrowed housing in his car, which can be seen from 50 feet away..
Tech ( or lack thereof) doesn't notice it, or doesn't want to crawl around underneath with a tape measure. He doesn't have the exact factory width spec readily available to him, to be able to disqualify anybody.

Next guy sees the obvious and decides he'll do it too. A half a dozen follow suit.

A guy like Capt. Jack comes along and points it out.

The half dozen offenders jump up and down and say, C'mon, what difference does it make ? NHRA says we don't care ,if you guys don't.

Next thing you know, you're another step closer to Super Stock.

Maybe you weren't around then , Mr. "cm". Stock was forced into Super Stock once already. Some of us don't want to see it happen again. Don't make it any easier for them.

Charles ... first we are talking about enforcing current rules not 2/3 speed current rule
Second if you are referring to me a 60 (57-61) Chevy came equipped with a turbo glide which is a 3 speed (two planetary and direct drive) so my car is correctly equipped and yes I’d like to return other guys to two speeds but that’s irrelevant on this thread. I know your young but you can google turbo glide or ask your daddy :)

Thanks for playing :)
