No body can question the workmanship of this car but what about the legality. This car has not been tech-ed properly. Has NHRA determined this car to be legal? If so, can all cars be built to these specs and standards? Here are some obvious points.

1. Motor Plate

Beautiful Car - just not a what NHRA should consider a Stocker.

It's not a motor plate if it only attaches to the frame on one side.. which it does.

Do you have a car?
Are you a D-1 Tech Person?

Gee I thought I was having a bad day!

After looking at the pic that was posted I would have to say that it really looks like a very nice car. Without seeing it in person, who could tell if its a Legal piece or not.

Lets face it, if any car looks that nice, I doubt that any IHRA Tech person would say anything regardless of what it had or didn't have on it. They really don't look for Legallity, just Safety stuff. NHRA is better in this department as far as I am concerned, but they do have oversites.

Legallity is the question and like the man said, "there isn't any such thing as being a little bit pregant, either you are or you aren't".

Would like to see what Travis or Wesley would say.

This is where I have a problem with racers. Go to the next race with money in hand and protest dont go stomping on the keyboard and venting your problems. If the origional poster does have a car, and is at the next race I hope someone protest to see a piston and rod. Be a man and deal with it in person but you must not know the rules on certain items before you flame away on someones car. I for one posted back in April about the frame connector coming through the floor. Only about 1/2 the stockers have them. Stock was gone along time ago, live with it.

Who is bob stampfli I dont know anything about this stocker or the kid who was driving it. So I dont have a side to take here, just the keyboard racer who shouldnt.

So Bob WHO ARE YOU?

Go to Drag Race Central, then the photo column, then click on 100 latest, scroll down to SREPA 1-3. Look for Adam Keir ST. Hope mine looks half as nice. A beautiful car.

this one??

Like it or not a car is legal till it gets tossed. Then it can be called illegal. If your sure about the car go to the track and put the money up. If not keep the "CRY BABY" stuff up it suits you.
