All I remember from the post was "we will continue to run Stock Eliminator, and we will be successful"

GULP!!! You have been warned....go get 'em Cool Hand.

I am not certain but believe Ray Skipper had a similar problem and was also DQ'ed at one event for the same thing. Year listed could not run the class he entered in.

I don't know any exact details of that event but do know Ray is as nice a guy as you'd want to meet....and NHRA just followed the letter of the rules.....apparently he made a similar mistake and suffered the same penalty.

I really don't think NHRA has the manpower to oversee a category like stock anymore. They surely don't have people that could know all the details on cars that are 40 years old....or older!

They rely on racers to fill out there info correctly and probably to police the category a little bit as well. I would have a hard time going over to a Tech guy and pointing out something that was wrong on another guys car in my category...unless it was outright blatant cheating.....

In the past I have seen NHRA tech make things a little difficult for well known bracket racers or newbies that show up in Stock or SS......Usually a little spot check on the return road or somewhere and they find things for you to fix! I think they were or are just trying to keep you on your toes.....and it should be this way as long as they run this category....

Spear claimed his nova as a 1970, it looks like a 1969 version though

Now that you have beat this guy to death, an average joe racer . Does anyone know what went on in super stock with a very rich owner and his multiple event winner driver? After qualifying and winning one round he was caught with 17 inch wide tires on a super stocker.The head of tech was told of this, he looked at them, called the tower and asked what to do? they called back and said > tell him to change them, and he continued to race. would this be the same performance gain as having 11 inch tires or too big a cam in stock? WHY IS EVERYONE INTIMIDATED BY MONEY AND A MULTIPLE NATIONAL EVENT WINNER ?
