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

I would be very surprised if Ken Keir would build the car to be blatantly illegal. It pushes the rulebook a bit, but I would be willing to bet that he contacted NHRA and IHRA about some of the issues.

This statement brings up a very valid point. What if Mr Keir contacted his Division Director/Tech Inspector and was given the green light on this stuff. How does the rest of us find out what is now deemed "acceptable"? Are there procedures in place to inform other Division/Inspectors what is now legal? Is the information passed on to Glendora for rulebook revisions? It would only be fair for all involved to get the same information and know they are still legal in their home division too.

Why is there so much crap about a car that has run 2 events, they teched in at Maple Grove points race and ran an IHRA event. It did not set any records or win big money at Indy, the car is sharp no doubt about it. Like my old friend Xtechman said Dave Ley knows his stuff so we will see what come out of all this bull. No ones car is perfect and that is a fact, if its bogus it will come out but from what I have seen and heard do not hold your breath, heater controls ? give me a break......the car must be a second faster with that delete

GIVE IT A REST.

1/8 mile et x 1.59 is more accurate

Bob Stampfli needs a kick in the A--
Why would you want to pick a guys car apart? Just to start trouble !
When Bob gets a job as a tech person then He can open his big mouth.
99 % of the stockers out there can be DQ'd @anytime
I know Ken Keir and He's a first class guy !
They should Delete this thread and let Bob go watch the soaps...........

Depends on the car, but this is the closest one to my car yet.

I'm new here, but thought I'd jump into the fire feet first.Back in Feb.or Mar. I rode along with a friend to get his chassis certified. NHRA tech guy was doing chassis certification and Ken Keir's shop. Their car was still in the progress of being finished. I can say that I saw with my own two eyes that the car had a two piece motor plate and adjustable suspension stops mounted on the control arms. I can also testify to the fact than car is one awesome piece of engineering. I'm just stating what I saw, but don't take any STOCK (pun) in what I say, I'm just a dumb ***** bracket racer.

Well, what do you know? Just when we thought this thread was used up...another eyewitness.
But... I don't see Dave Printz's name on Drag Race Central in the last year...so let's beat him up good. He must be lying...trouble maker... Who's first?
