[X-TECH MAN]

Stock elim. "DIED" in 1985 when they changed the camshaft and valve spring rules. Its been dead for a long time and it will never be as it was. Its called evolution for better or worse (mostly worse). Billy Knees.....you should know I didnt mean that 101 % of the stockers would flunk a "Marty" tech....just 99.9 % of todays current crop of stockers. Sorry for that misleading statement but we all know the cars I was refering to. It seems today that a lot of racers and engine builders have "ZERO" ethics. They dont care what they have to do to win and go fast. It means nothing to be 1.00 + under these days. Its all about getting in the field any way you can.The more the NHRA ties the tech inspectors hands the more people will do and get away with. All this crap about weighing pistons and rods fell by the way side. When was the last time that was done since that came about? I wont even talk about the heads, lifters, and intakes as thats a "dead horse". Soooooooooooo the moral of the story is....a class win dosent mean much any more. The current crop of "professional" bracket racers in stock (or S/S) can barely change a spark plug much less build a race car. Its all about money and buying the trick of the week or the best bogus engine and slap the inspectors on the back while using anything and everything to beat the system. Eliminate ALL of the electronics, bounce the bogus crap and lets see how many winners we have left. Drag racing is changing and theres nothing much the older generation can do about it. Live with it or get another hobby.
