The Keir Stocker is absolutely 1st rate craftsmanship - but is it legal?

[JRyan]

Hi back Larry,

You're right! Where is it going?

Give me an original 1968 - 1972 Nova and an early Camaro (for comparison purposes), a tape measure and some authority, and I'll scare the crap out of a large number of Stockers drivers at any NHRA event. Yeah!! It'd be that easy.

My 1957 Chevy Bel Air had the radiator core support cut. Two tabs were welded on the ends and it was bolted back in. I went 68 and 71 Winters an the 70 Supernationals and it was never questioned.

Like it or not a car is legal till it gets tossed. Then it can be called illegal. If your sure about the car go to the track and put the money up. If not keep the "CRY BABY" stuff up it suits you.

I'm sitting around here at home, instead of Chicago, with nothing to do but read these soapies. I should leave well enough alone but I just can't help myself. (1) As far as I know this forum is for everyone ....even no names... and there is a forum for racers ONLY, just a quick scroll down when you get on this site. If you can't stand to read a thread of a no name, don't read it. If you want to have a racer only thread, go there. Unfortunately hardly any racers post there(????) (2) Jerry is point on, except that it would include a lot more than Novas and Camaros. Like he says ...a car that passes in one division may not in another. (3) As for the Nova in question..... NHRA has let the 1968 thru 72 Nova tech in as any of those years according to the engine combo claimed. The steering column is different in the early model(no ign.key). No big deal.The tail lights are some what different 69 to a 70. No big deal. The seats are close (head rest). Again no big deal. This has been going on for years with a lot of makes and models. (4) IF the Keir Nova has adjustable stops ( as do a few other stockers I've seen), he will probably have that corrected soon after he reads this thread. Ditto IF he has a block plate and/or cut core support. Everything else is nothing new to whats going on in stock now days. (5) Before you start bringing protest money to the races make sure your own house is in order. (6) That is an awfully NICE Nova. (7) If NHRA allows you to run it, RUN IT till they stop you. (8) I'm getting so tired even Bob Stampfli is starting to look good, James. (9) Gotta go and give props to the Wenzel guys.

What happened to James Schaechter post? I thought it was funny, Tom

Leave the kid and his car alone. Maybe this is why people are not " flocking " to class racing any more. This place is starting to sound like a bunch of old ladies in a hair salon!

It seems to me that the wrong kind of people are "flocking" to class racing any more! Schools should be teaching our children how to read so that when they decide to go Stock racing they can read the Rulebook!
The sound of "a bunch of old ladies in a hair salon" has to be better than a bunch of whining, crying little spoiled brats that aren't getting their own way!

My previous post was not meant as any comment on Kenny Keirs new car as I have only casually looked at it and can't comment on it's legality one way or another. It is pretty though.

This kid wins one race and the jackasses come out of the woodwork. Put up or shut up!

Enough said, time to end this thread.
