Default Re: Stripe Catcher/Pecker Extender

you talk like making a pass in stock eliminator is some huge accomplishment, it's not! I've been offered rides to compete in stock and super stock over the years. Going backwards at this point in my racing program, running in the 10s or even high 9s is of little interest to me not when my Chevelle ran in the 9s, 17 years ago and my firebird has been running in the 8s for the past 15 years!

because they don't have their ride height and /or suspension setup correctly. I don't have a strip taker and NEVER in thousands of passes have ever tripped the beams with the nose when braking hard.
