Re: The Keir Stocker is absolutely 1st rate craftsmanship - but is it legal?
I would be very surprised if Ken Keir would build the car to be blatantly illegal. It pushes the rulebook a bit, but I would be willing to bet that he contacted NHRA and IHRA about some of the issues.

Bob said, "So, by your mentality, it would be ok for this ten second car to have a delay box? As long as it does not affect it's 1/4 mile peformance it should be legal?"
You're right; I over-stated the case with regard to the "legality issues". The original list of items contained several that were ostensibly, performance-related. To wit: 1. Motor Plate 2. Motor / Mounts moved back 6. Frame connected above the floor 9. A-Frame adjustable stops To me, the primariy issues (as opposed to B.S., nit-picking "no heater controls"-type of carping) had to do with the modifications that were performed to make the car quicker. That, to me, was the main thrust of the complaints about this car, so that was the bunny trail my mind went down.... Of COURSE, I wouldn't want to see this car allowed to run with a delay box... Sorry I gave the wrong impression.. Your point is well-taken. Bill |

The frame connected above the floor has only been legal for what 15-20 years. And the motor plate is only a 1/2 plate according to someone who saw it. Before you can bitch about someones car you need to know the rules yourself.

Rule book Section 8A Stock cars, #4 Frame (page 109) says frame can be joined front to rear in a straight line "extending through car floor" with floor completely welded to member. Is this only regarding round tubing? I had the 2"x3" material and had to run it through floor. This was Div. 4 tech. Someone please enlighten me.

Why is there so much crap about a car that has run 2 events, they teched in at Maple Grove points race and ran an IHRA event. It did not set any records or win big money at Indy, the car is sharp no doubt about it. Like my old friend Xtechman said Dave Ley knows his stuff so we will see what come out of all this bull. No ones car is perfect and that is a fact, if its bogus it will come out but from what I have seen and heard do not hold your breath, heater controls ? give me a break......the car must be a second faster with that delete
GIVE IT A REST. |

1/8 mile et x 1.59 is more accurate

Bob Stampfli needs a kick in the A--
Why would you want to pick a guys car apart? Just to start trouble ! When Bob gets a job as a tech person then He can open his big mouth. 99 % of the stockers out there can be DQ'd @anytime I know Ken Keir and He's a first class guy ! They should Delete this thread and let Bob go watch the soaps........... |
