Doug you don't need to apologize to any of us on here. I have to believe most of us old guys love seeing a young guy like yourself involved in Stock. Wish there was more of you. But that's another story. It's great you have that old timer (LOL) Billy helping you out. You will learn a lot from him.

Tavirace, My close friend and I'll call him Danny was doing exactly what you said several years ago. He ran in H/SA. At 3 races in a row he had a heads up race in the first round. He tried hard to be competitive but with the old school Stocker he didn't really have a chance. So in the end he spent thousand of dollars to travel, enter a race, and maintain his car not to be competitive. If you run a competitive class and want to be able to run close to others you don't have much of a choice. In G/SA an 11.20 won't get you very far. Didn't someone run 10.60's in G this year.

So all you guys that are worried about the old school stockers with flat tappet lifters becoming more like Super Stockers. What do you think about the Stockers with parachutes on them? LMAO Stocker with another manufactures rear in the car. Blower's on a Stocker. That one really cracks me up. Adapter plates on the back of motors to be able to use another manufactory tranny. Eight second Stockers?
My 94 car doesn't even need a tack in it. With the E-shift the car drives itself. Then it adjusts the fuel curve as it goes down the track. And you worry about roller lifters!! That are being used by so many other combo's
I'd understand about the lifters if you could get a good set but when they stop making them that's another story.

Bubski still can't use your real name. Frank said he never said that to you. As far as my combo I've never been really crazy about it. I'd rather run a small block. But at 20 grand for the car it was hard to pass up. BP
