2011 Stock/Super Stock Rule Changes

[bill dedman]

You're right, Jeff; "There are none so blind as those who WILL NOT SEE," my mom used to tell me when I was a kid...

Now, I know what she meant.

[John Lang]

Mr Dedman....You have been beating this First Red thing for a long ,long time ! Give it a rest ! Most racers, including myself think that the way it is now is just fine ! I've been doing this silly hobby (that I still love) since 1956, and it's still the closest thing to SEX you can get with your clothes on ! Yes at my age ! Go out and race and have a good time !........John

Like the guy who races nothing but brackets constantly telling the people racing class they should change their rules because he feels they're not fair?

"Rules"??? The only rule I have EVER addressed on this forum is this one... because I don't see any problem with the rest of them, except for the pathetic AHFS, and that's going to take a LOT of re-do before it's workable. This redlight business is an easy fix.

Tell me this, Alan: What are the differences in Stock Eliminator starting line procedures and Bracket racing starting line procedures relative to red lights. Particularly, the ones that are relative to this discussion... you know, the ones that would disqualify my opinon about this subject. Tell me... please.

You do realize, don't you, that Ken set this particular board up for people like me, who may not currently have a Class car, but still have an interest in how things are done, and want to contribute to the discussion.

John Lang said it best: Let's just have fun! But, I can have a lot more fun if the rules are fair... and, they're not for the first car to leave, if he redlights.

No free rides!

What makes you think that you have to be the conscience for a race series you aren't even a participant in?If you want a worse red light rule spend the energy you are wasting here on an email avalanche to NHRA in Cal. to change the rule in BRACKET RACING which you say you are active in.BTW just how many races do you do in a season?
And the other interloper agreeing with you (Mr Tightwad) isn't an active S/SS racer either.
Does he even race/attend any races?
Non participants aren't needed to shape the rules that WE race under.I couldn't put it any simpler.

[Ed Wright]

Bill, do you really think all this carrying on is going to change anything? Really? Do you just like to argue? I only have a low ten second car, so most always leave first. I'm fine like it is. I don't remember loosing a race that way anyway. If I do, I should have not gone red. I'm not going to blame somebody else.

Any word on after market small bore bigblock chevy yet . Would it be a good idea to start a list of people who would like to purchase them so they can get casted and sold (50 vs 100 blocks etc ) to make it a good deal for the casting company as well as the racer ???? Ken R

The list is here, on page 89.
