The mini tub does not gain me anything and I know what the rule book says about it. Just thinking Id be okay being how they let you use after market parts in the engine build that are not stock these days. Any thoughts ? (be nice !!!)

Good morning to all,
You know what the rules say?
This is not legal in Stock, It'll be OK in Super Stock.
Have a Great Day.

As one who has spent $150 to get a repo hood scoop grill, (among other small things) to be legal, it sucks but the rules are the rules.

So what the o.p. Wants to do is blatantly cheat and wants you guys to be ok with it


NO! I don?t care, but as the rules are written, you cannot do that, so no, do not do that!
Sometimes I wonder why we even have a rulebook
I?ve seen a few people in super Street show up with cars that are well underweight and their only excuse was I didn?t think that they would weigh?

So now 2" mini tubs? Is it necessary to tarnish the integrity of stock eliminator any further?

Not okay in Stock and there are some advantages as the 73-74 model years are notorious for small tires wells. I had to run an 8? wheel with 5? backspace and could only fit Mickey Thompsons without rubbing, the Hoosiers just rubbed a little on turns but squeeked by, literally
