Deconstructing Stock - Page 2

TOSTO RACING · 06-28-2012, 07:00 PM

I'm also with you guys on the heads up runs and rules to follow. Me being 37, I bracket raced S/P and PRO since I was 16. I always love the stock and superstock cars. Watching stock over the years and seeing a 9 inch tired car carry the wheels 100 feet, what is cooler than that! The last bracket race I was at had a about 150 dragsters and 2 door cars and about a 1000 cry babies lol no thanks just not for me. So I turned my camaro into a stocker and for the past 3 years I 've been running stock, and like said above I try and go to the events that have class just to run heads up. Knowing I'll get my *** kicked lol,but I try like hell, it just makes me work harder. Stock is cool and I hope it hangs around for awhile!
Like I always say when they call stock and superstock to the lanes its the best car show I 've ever been too!

And who would that be?
Ken Bugaj ? That's who first mentioned no heads up as a solution.
He doesn't race? His son doesn't race?
Who/what are you talking about?

Enforce the written rules or rewrite the rules. I'd bet there'd be enough people that would come back or bring their kids into it if you got rid of the BS. Please don't tell me to work harder......sorry, I should stay off of the internet.

Who is going to show up Ken? Are we going to make it " only class racers get into the show? How much money are you going to spend on a car that it doesn't matter what it runs or how it runs? What are the rules? Can I run nitrous durring eleminations? Ken, I was at your shop 20 years ago with Matt dropping off your SS engines for your Corvette, and your GT car. You always had fast a beautiful stuff. You are telling me you would be happy racing In a class with no performance? 30k for a cement mixer technology bracket car with a 10" cowl hood? What happend???

QUOTE=KEN BUGAJ;333225]Hi Todd,
You can stop all that with one new rule, No heads up runs other than in class run off's !
I know alot of guy's don't want to hear that, but new people don't want to spend 50 or 60 K
on a car to race,[/QUOTE]
