something I find funny is,,, about a year or so ago,,,I was blasting the buttons in stock and the way they were used and why racers were favoring A-D cars and also the decline of slow cars,,,,IMO, the true essence of what stock is supposed to be about,,,,,its about the guy, out in his garage, building his own parts, cause they dont make stuff for chevettes,,,,,,,,,not the "store bought stocker" were you give some shop about 60k and you pick it up back from the western swing.....It was the majoritys opinion that I shoudl just shut up and race,,,,WOW,,,what a difference a year or so makes after seeing this stuff used correctly!!!

now Im the type of person that ,,,if I cant be competitive,,,Im not going to play,,,,,,and the fact is,,I cant compete with the 2 steps and buttons.....I dont intend to quit racing locally and they just dont allow any electronics,,,,,,,so I quit racing stock,,,just that simple.......there are exceptions to the rule such as Myron,,,Beard and a few others,,,but they are very few.......

I see after a year or so,,finally some of you understand just how and why they are using 2 steps and buttons...and also understand why most are wanting to go at least D or quicker,,,,,,It takes that to "pro tree race" a stocker,,,,,,,,,,so now ,,"it the buttons and 2 steps gotta go",,,,,,,well good for you guys,,,,It time to put nhra/ Ihra on the hot seat

Also,,if i understand the rest of the rules,,,,,isnt anything Illegal in a Superstocker also Illegal in a Stocker,,,,,,,do not the rules progress from illegal to legal the more of advanced class you run????

I had addressed this issue the the powers that be in both organizations 2 years ago and both were concerned but didnt know at that time exactly what was going to take place.....Ihra sealed the buttons but IMO,,that isnt enough......

Like chip,,,to my surprise,,there wasnt any of the killer guys at the 50k,,,,,excluding Zane and a few footbraker greats,,,,,I mean 10k, 50k and 10k for $675 is alot to pass up .....I really thought more of the stocker guys would show for this kind of money,,,but as stated before "no buttons" was the rule
