Re: Factory Stock Showdown expands to seven events in 2018
 

Not factory and certainly not stock; put them all in Comp or let them race with the 8.5 tire guys. The "fans" have no idea what size tire is on virtually any vehicle in competition.

No interest whatsoever.

[QUOTE=troublemaker427;546611]I agree, they must stay with the 9" tire to keep the cars interesting to the fans.




I'm also disappointed that there are no events scheduled for the northeast. Englishtown or Maple Grove would be very supportive of these cars.[/QUOTE

Englishtown was a Showdown race for several years through and including 2016; but with the traction problems that existed, Englishtown was dropped in 2017 and 2018. In 2016, only David Barton was able to consistently get down the track and he made it look relatively easy at 8.25 which, at the time, was the fastest run ever by a Stocker.

You are completely wrong. The fans know a lot more about these cars than you are giving them credit for. The factories are the reason for these cars to start with so yes they're "factory". And what is "stock" in stock eliminator anymore? They look quite a bit more stock under the hood than many "stock eliminator" cars.


And if you aren't interested why did you open the thread and make a comment?

All well and good but.......can we lobby for a Factory Showdown race at a fabled division 1 track, like say...Englishtown? It would make an even 8 races.

The Factory Stock cars were just as quick as the finalists in Comp .

If there are any short FS fields next year, they should allow the quickest cars from the rest of Stock to move up and fill the empty spaces.
