The Keir Stocker is absolutely 1st rate craftsmanship - but is it legal?

[RJ Sledge]

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?

Where is the pictures posted, so we can all see that must have missed seeing it.

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??

To me, unless you have seen the actual car, thru YOUR own eyes, not pictures, or put YOUR hands on a car, you dont have the sac to use your real name, you dont have a counting opinion on wether a car is leagl or not.
To get on the net and basically call someone out, without the above, is useless and a waste of time and bandwidth.

It's beautuiful car, and looks , by the picture, a very well built piece. Props to them ! The car , builders and the performance, evidently.

His eighth-mile qualifying time converts to a 9.95 quarter-mile e.t.; not bad for an A/SA car the second time out...

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.

I'm sitting around here at home, instead of Chicago, with nothing to do but read these soapies. I should leave well enough alone but I just can't help myself. (1) As far as I know this forum is for everyone ....even no names... and there is a forum for racers ONLY, just a quick scroll down when you get on this site. If you can't stand to read a thread of a no name, don't read it. If you want to have a racer only thread, go there. Unfortunately hardly any racers post there(????) (2) Jerry is point on, except that it would include a lot more than Novas and Camaros. Like he says ...a car that passes in one division may not in another. (3) As for the Nova in question..... NHRA has let the 1968 thru 72 Nova tech in as any of those years according to the engine combo claimed. The steering column is different in the early model(no ign.key). No big deal.The tail lights are some what different 69 to a 70. No big deal. The seats are close (head rest). Again no big deal. This has been going on for years with a lot of makes and models. (4) IF the Keir Nova has adjustable stops ( as do a few other stockers I've seen), he will probably have that corrected soon after he reads this thread. Ditto IF he has a block plate and/or cut core support. Everything else is nothing new to whats going on in stock now days. (5) Before you start bringing protest money to the races make sure your own house is in order. (6) That is an awfully NICE Nova. (7) If NHRA allows you to run it, RUN IT till they stop you. (8) I'm getting so tired even Bob Stampfli is starting to look good, James. (9) Gotta go and give props to the Wenzel guys.
