This argument comes up from time to tim in regards to S/SS combos. As a person who has organized and put on many S/SS races since 1996, here are some statistics. I've done sixteen races in Hagerstown MD since '96. In the past sixteen events, Stockers have taken 20 of 32 final rounds spots, winning ten times, including eight straight events from 1998 through 2004 (spring and fall races). In my Tri State S/SS series, the three years we did season-long points series, Stockers won all three ( Tom Losket '97, Jeff Ross '99 and Steve Klacik '00). These are stats I can recall off the top of my head. I could look up more, but I think this proves the point that Stockers can more than hold their own in S/SS combo races.
