Doesn't mention that under Super Stock.

Only a matter of time.

One would think that dry ice would be preferred over regular ice. No water involved

You would think that they would allow something like computer duster, but we got told at Englishtown that we were running Stock not Pro Stock! It was better than watering down the staging lanes.
