There is a reason the rules of Stock and SS have gotten so out of hand over the past 20-25 years. It comes down really to 2 things. 1- People are too lazy to work at something and they can just "buy" power so they've gotten parts and pieces approved.. People were cheating for years and year and years and as NHRA has cut back the staffing to police some the things rules have been adjusted to no longer make those things illegal.
I won't argue at all that what is being discussed in this thread isn't happening out there, but if you think the people the win and win consistently are the ones utilizing this technology at the sportsman level I'm here to tell you.... you are wrong... The Dan Fletcher/Biodo/Lamb/Burton/Lanf/Helms type of the world are just good drivers.. if you knew what you were looking for and had the means to check every car at every event across the nation (at the sportsman level) I would venture to guess you find less than 10-20 cars utilizing this technology..

Yes = There are a lot of great drivers in Stock/SS.
My son is one of them - I am not one of them!
However, It breaks my Heart to see him have to compete
with other good drivers who have electronics that tip the
scales so far in their favor against him.
You can come up and inspect everything on our cars anytime
anyone asks.
We have the funds and know where to find the tech to implement
the changes necessary to compete at the highest level with the other
great drivers.
We discussed it a couple years ago and indeed I was considering
so AND I was pissed off enough to do it after over nearly 60 years
in this sport of following the rules.
I brought it up to my son Jon = He said NO WAY would he participate
in doing so and please do not bring it up again!
