Will it fit Comp? That would be cool.

Does anyone else see the fact that this "stocker" could have set the record in SS/AA a few years ago as just WRONG?

I Imagine Chad many just go along with this as a "progression" in Stock. I personally believe it is Pro stock revisited. Too Few rules, too little supervision Way too much excitement guiding the development.
Lets see excitement for an affordable Stock substitute that could give Grass Roots Jr. Stock type racing a come back...

Dick,
I am in your camp. It's cool what they can accomplish but $140,000.00 stockers and bringing a team of two or three with you has taken most of the guys who want to run Stock and left them at home running PRO ET.
Seriously $100,000.00+ in a car to run for $800.00 at a LODRS event....actually it is pretty darn funny!!!

At least they have a hobby...... I guess.

Leaving soft, inadequate tire, etc., all factor in. The equation assumes a no-compromise race car. Still, a remarkably fast run!

Quite possibly the best line of the year (so far). Not to take anything away from the accomplishment and I'm a Ford guy but let's get real.... Stock????

Shocker in Florida! Chris Holbrook, (AAA/SA 2013 Cobra Jet), ran three consecutive runs of 8.54/159 in eliminations while the other finalist, Drew Skillman, (AA/SA 2012 Cobra Jet), hit 8.83/155, 8.80/155 and 8.71/156. In the final round, Holbrook clocked a brutal -1.19 8.510/160.19 but Skillman hit an astonishing -1.403 8.597 at 158.06, (remember, Drew is in AA/SA), to win! Congratulations to both for a weekend of drag racing history!

By the way, Randy Hopkins' SS/AAA 2012 Cobra Jet posted an 8.229 in qualifying and ran an early shut-off -1.164 8.236 at only 149 mph after redlighting in the opening round.

I was wondering where Hopkins' was. Thanks for the updates.

Nah, it's 'Pro Modified Stock'. The call letters could be 'PMS'......okay, bad idea.
