Default Re: Stockers....buttons.....check This Out

Chip's idea of a dive was being .011 and taking .001 stripe on me at Piedmont this weekend. With friends like that....

It's funny how 'majority rule' can have more effect than logic. Most people don't deep stage, so it was easily "voted out" (or at least driver input was used as an excuse for getting rid of it.) Many folks said, "Stock is a performance class, so there should be no deep staging." Well, what Stocker "needs" a 2-step? Every automatic Stocker out there can be footbraked. I feel that the discussion goes hand-in-hand with the whole E-Shift discussion. I feel it behooves class racing to have two totally distinct categories: Stock for no electronics, and Super Stock for transbrakes, 2-steps, and automated shifters.
