Re: Lencos in SS
Well As Tony Knows(And Many Others Here That Class Race)There's NEVER Any Certainty To ANYTHING In Racing...How Many Times Have You All Traveled To And From An Event Without SOMETHING Unplanned Happening?!If You Can Count On Your Hands You Musta Not Been Racin Long OR DAMN Lucky!!...I Have Traveled To Tracks And They Nit Pick Your Equipment To Death(Little things)and the Next Guy With A HUGE Name rolls in and they Wave At Them..Shake Their Hand And Pass Them Without Them Ever Bringing Their Vehicle into Tech......I've Seen It Happen WAY TOO Many Times....Even When Records Are Set There Are Short Cuts For These Same People When My Car Is Scattered For Twelve States To Verify....This Is A Game..We Will Continue To Play And Pay...We'll Bitch,Well Kick,Well Scratch But We Wont Bite And Well Play By What Rules They Make Up For Us Because We Want To Play...NOTHING Will Ever Change..It Hasnt In 50+ Years and Aint Now because Some Of Us Are Bitchin About It...I Found This Out YEARS ago....
I Dont Even Have The Dough To Be Competitive Right Now...BUT Assure You..As Soon As I Do I Will Be Back And Am Seriously Thinking About SHAKING HANDS Again In My Car. We Used to Go To National Events with at least 4 trannys...2 Autos,2 Manuals...Change It All And Race At The Track with the Lighter(Less Entries)Class..Hell Me And Phil Rohr Changed Up Between the Two Of Us YEARS Ago in My Car in Cajun Nationals...1 in Manual 1 in Auto...Those Were The Days...Those Were The Days......Sad Theyre Gone And The Modern Pencil Pushing None Race Driver Concerned Track Managers and Rule Developers Are Here Now...My Cousin "Bullet Bob" Just Bit The Wall in his NEW Car at Charlotte This Weekend Because Of LACK of CONCERN on the Tracks Behalf..... Oh Well...Like Was said Before..These Are Just Our Rants And May Be Heard But Will Not Be Cared About by the Officials..... SS |

Re: Lencos in SS
Nobody's figured this out yet?
Just another step towards combining sticks and automatics .

Re: Lencos in SS
Shoot; just give the sticks clutchless shifting, and some sort of electronic clutch release, and to "level the playing field," give the automatics transbrakes, and lockup convertors...
I'm talking Stock Eliminator, here... That ought to keep the contingency sponsors happy for awhile... and, everybody will be happier, except the guys who have to quit racing because the increased cost of funding the new-order (read: QUICKER), is impossible, in this down economy.... OH, and NHRA can lay-off even more tech people since they won't have to be policing clutchless 4-speeds and looking for transbrakes and lockup converters (they DO do that, don't they???)
