2011 Stock/Super Stock Rule Changes

Adger Smith · 11-07-2010, 02:18 AM

Hey Bill I'm a slow Super Stock car and it dosn't bother me. I've had the second guy redlite more than I have. What's the matter? Slow car drivers can't take advantage of the clean tree? Yes, it is an advantage to me to leave first. I've raced almost every way. Slow Stocker to A/ED. I can read the tree better and tell what kind of light I get without any distraction. That allows me to run the finish line the best way, the way I want to do it. Sit in an A/ED and watch some slower car move out on you and then you try to blow off the line with a 1 second sixty foot. I totally disagree with all your issues with the current system. I just think it is the mental thing that resides on a persons shoulders. With the issues you have with being the slow car you are probably beating yourself more than the other guy. Come on give it up. It is what it is, Has been and no one in NHRA is interested in changing it. It's not worth an more lip service. I've said my piece and I'll continue to race my way and with in the system we have, whether I leave first or last. I'm out of here!
