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

Billy Nees · 06-07-2009, 06:00 AM

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!

Yes, I would say it is time to end this thread, unless someone has some photos to to post,documenting some of this stuff.
Preserving what's left of Stock Eliminator IS something worth talking about.

Its not our job to be Judge and Jury. If you dont like the car put your money where your opinions are, not on the keyboard. Pictures or not if you dont the car, become a tech man and then you can have an opinion that counts, otherwise its just an opinion.

That being said, let's say you're pulling into the water for your heads-up round against a '68 Nova with a 6-71 huffer poking through the hood...following your logic, you should just take your lumps or become a tech man, right? We wouldn't even be having this discussion if the rules were ENFORCED equally across the divisions.
And no, I'm not a racer yet...I'm the guy Mark mentioned. My car that's roughly 60% done is already more legal than a lot of stuff I've seen at the track.

I have been under the assumption for many years that the stock elim. section of the NHRA rule book should be interpetted in the negative, i.e. unless it specifically says you are allowed to make a modification, you should assume that it isn't allowed. NOT that if it doesn't say it's not allowed you are to assume that it's ok.

Bill, the rule of thumb I've always used to convert 1/8th mile times to 1/4 mile times is to divide by .65.
