Wheelie Bars are not needed for Safety on Stockers!

I don't guess I was clear. ATI builds converters for the other kinds of cars I mentioned, he said they don't build the SAME converter for all the different kinds of cars I mentioned. He said if you put my SS converter in a "10.5 shoot out" car they would just blow the tires off. I used to run local et brackets, I could set the shocks and limiters and it was fine all day. At national events we have the fuel cars, etc, running also. The track changes all weekend. The starting line "is like a box of chocolates".
I'm sure lower powered cars don't have as much a problem with as a blown CJ or COPO. Your cars and your racing is more different from ours than you appear to think.

Am I jealous of you? Really? Not real sure why you would think so.

If bars were solely for safety reasons, then why are they not made mandatory by NHRA instead of optional as they are now?

Jeez, that's so obvious. They are not mandatory because not all cars need them.

I think this is a VERY good question!

No one wants to see anyone's car damaged as a result of a wheelie. With the cars that have notched the rear valance, is there another wheelie bar design that would work without having to notch anything? Something similar to what John Calvert had on his Thunderbolt? I would hate to see a situation like Larry stated where the bars would crunch up the rear of a car because of this ruling to not allow the notches.

I guess its time for me to chime in again. Ed(1320racer), I have received numerous emails to have you banned. While you are not breaking any rules at the moment, your constant ego driven responses are just getting old. Can you not just give it a rest. Knowing everything about everything must make hanging out at the track with you a nightmare. Thankfully you have chose not to run NHRA Div, and Nat. events.

I'm sure many here will agree that banning someone for an opinion is wrong. I get enough heat from some members thinking I ban members because I don't agree with them. I have been accused of hating bracket racers, super classes, and any other class that has nothing to do with stock and super stock.

My suggestion to all is to ignore Ed, he will eventually go away. Even if he does not, he will be irrelevant.

If everyone feels he should be removed in spite of my suggestion, either post here or email or pm me.

Ken,

This assclown has been irrelevant for as long as I can remember. I choose to ignore it. Remember, as our good friend Larry once said, You cant fix stupid.

After the comment he made to Ed Wright in post #58, I vote to ban his ***. No need for that here but either way could you set the forum where you could "ignore" someone's post? That could be the ticket.

Yall do know that wheelie bars are legal in stock and super stock, and we are only talking about notches on the newer cars in SS, and basically the same in stock. If you can get them under the car and don't need the notches, then it's a done deal. Is all this about notches? I must be missing something here.

FYI, post #58 is NOT Ed Wright. It belongs to some one named "Ed" alright, just not Ed Wright.

I have to say you have handled this one like a champ. You can tell I am getting old and tired of this kind of stuff or I would have quickly jumped in this guys poop with a vengeance like I used to do! I can't believe Perrone didn't call Ed an "a$$clown" or something as colorful! He missed a perfect chance. Maybe we all are getting a little old and tired? Jim
