Just more blatant discrimination aimed at HP challenged individuals like myself!

Good morning to all,
I only ran Jr. Stock and THAT my fellow Class Racers was the most fun I had Drag Racing !!!!!!!!
I also feel as Class Racers that's where most of us would love to participate.
All out, first to the finish, with everything you got. I realize I'm in the autumn of my racing career but that's still the coolest type of racing.
At this point I'd just like to give Dave Ley a shout out on this because I believe he spearheaded most of this in the beginning. If someone could figure out how we could make this happen again, it would be Great.
Just my Two Cents but it was Good Fun.

Respectfully,

I was at Maple Grove that weekend and it was one the best events I ever witnessed.

There's always that one guy....

We ran Top Stock at Indy open in 2009, I believe. Can't remember the sponsor but it was very much fun even though we needed a little more steam. Would love to see it come back.

Hey now....


Bring it back but minimum 40% stick shift ;-)

I wouldn't limit the years and would just have traditional stockers eligible, NO FS cars. There is newer than 2001 cars in the guide that were massed produced. That's what would be neat is to see new vs old muscle.

To Mr Kunz :
and others ' i have actually been working on a Full program for a new Jr stock eliminator - so i suppose i will just add top stock to it.
More later, i have sponsors -including myself who have expressed interest. perhaps we should meet at gainsville. Rock

Good morning Professor and all,
I would enjoy taking you up on your offer to meet at Gainesville, but can't do so at this time. Work and time won't allow at this point. Don't let that stop your progress with this.
There will be a few obstacles you'll have to endure, Maybe you should reach out to Mr. Dave Ley and get some insight from him. At this point in time I would say he's the Subject Matter Expert. Please continue to fight the good fight.
Have a Great Day.
