Cool Re: Lapping piston rings

It seems amazing that 30 years ago, what we had to run to remain legal in Stock Eliminator even worked at all. Those were the days when a run just under the index was something to be proud of. The constant evolution of the sport has been constant,relentless,and outstanding. One of the sure things, there are no more car magazine articles that feature this stuff like there once were. There was a tremendous amount of learning to be had from those years. I got belittled once that"Reimer doesn't know anything but what he reads in car mags". I thought that was a complement. Obviously, that detractor never read many magazines, or he'd know something too.
The evolution of Stock Eliminator into what it is now isn't just motors, but tires,wheels, chassis tweaking,converters,transes, all in all, the cars just aren't the same.I don't know how a new racer could ever do this if it wasn't for the vast herd of experienced racers out there that have a vast pool of useful knowledge. Believe us, it doesn't come easy.
