What has changed in Stock Eliminator since 2015?
Just curious what significant changes have taken place since 2015?
Life had a different direction for me for the last 10 years. But now I'm at a spot that I'm considering racing again. My thoughts are either going back racing in Stock OR make it a Drag and Drive car. The car has been sitting untouched for years. Obviously, everything that is there will need to be freshened or replaced. Just some of the questions I have: 1) What major rules have changed over the last 10 years? 2) What can or what should be updated to be competitive based on rule changes over the last 10 years? 3) Are things like digital ignitions & data acquisition a must even on an old school carbureted stocker? |

I was away from racing for 22 years or so and decided to build a stocker. Since I was coming from super-gas it was a whole new experience for me even though I was building an engine for my stocker from the same engine family I was using in super-gas. The only new items that I noticed was the change to the roller rockers and solid lifters (which I had already been using) the rest of the build was straight out of the rule book with attention to the approved products pages. The only thing I wish I had from the racing I did 20 some years ago would be a trans brake and a pro tree. That's actually easier than the .500 count down :)

My Demon is exactly the same as it has been for well
over 10 years except for routine Maintenace and new tires a time or two. It is not a rocket ship with the all the new billet camshafts/lifters and latest now accepted Aluminum heads. However, it goes 1.0 under in good air and it still wins rounds. Just not the occasional Heads Up. Just service and get your race car back out again and have some fun!!!! It does not need to be State of the Arts to turn on some win lights. |

Solid lifter allowed in place of hydraulic is the only major rule change I can think of. Yes some technology has been updated but it?s not a necessity. I?d say get the car running again and go have fun!

You can spend lots of money on "state-of-the-art" heads and an intake. Depending on your cam and combo choice, I've found no difference between solid and hydraulic lifters and stock and roller rockers from a performance standpoint but that could be the combos that I'm using. |

As usual, mr. desk top dyno, a nobody, a computer programmer, a clueless old man who never raced and that no one here with a clue gives him, nor his malarkey the time of day, has decided again, to reply only to comment about me.
Pathetic! |
