We have more HP than you. The excess weight really hurts parts. The guys with the Corvettes are bending rear suspension pieces running minimum weight in A. Talk to Calabro and Fasano about that. None of us could run B, at least not without killing drivetrain parts.

Stock will get about 10 extra minutes coverage from this, all year, if one of those cars wins a big race. NHRA couldn't care less about Stock getting any coverage. Stock gets maybe 30 seconds or so in the Sportsman show. We made a very small splash on the coverage for the Gators, they showed us when they came back from commercial, called the owner/driver by name, and showed a big wheel stand. I think that was the only mention of Stock I saw other than showing a quick shot of the winner all year.
