Re: Wally Parks editorial from Dec 1955
What's to come of all this dishonesty? Well, there are several possible solutions. One is to discontinue the running of Stock classes, but this isn't practical. Another might be to run Stocks for "time only," giving no awards to winners. Last, but not least, would be to change class restrictions to simply require "no visible modifications," leaving hidden parts wide open to alteration.
Travis,
Thanks for the editorial, well written as always by Wally and at the time sincerely having the best interest of the sportsman Stock racer at heart.
However I’m not sure I’m getting the point of this post, is Glendora considering some changes to Stock eliminator? I.e. “discontinuing the Stock classes” or perhaps “no visible modifications” making it stock appearing leaving hidden parts open to alteration.
Just call me paranoid but with all that’s going on with opening up the rules away from true stock I feel justified in my concern.
Or is about the tech personnel being under appreciated? As far as the tech personnel I know I have tremendous respect for them and the sincerity. From what I hear underappreciated and under compensated is more an issue with their employer these days than from the racers. I guess another affirmation of the tech personnel’s committed sincerity and respect for class racing.
If Wally was around these days what would he be writing about stock eliminator and tech?
Thanks and Regards
Jim
