I don't think there are many Stocker/ SS racers that have been over 300 or under a 5 sec. ET...... So to all the expert Stocker/SS Racers I'll say this - The difference between 290 and 320 is HUGE !!! The difference between 300 and 330 is even greater. The gear ratio's are already limited to "only" a 3.20 ratio and rev limiters are already in place and inforced. The cost savings will be about 1 million dollars a year per car. ( Think how that effects John Force's retirement.) And now he might live to enjoy it! With that said, I wonder why this can't be the exception instead of the rule. Why not race 1000' feet at Englishtown, Columbus, and Pomona. Leave all the other "Modern" tracks alone.
