Stockers....buttons.....check This Out

[Michael Beard]

>> If ya going to use the "cheater" flag here, how does that stand up to logic?

Personally, I don't. To me, it's more about a style of racing. Again, I think it's important to not blur the lines between Stock and Super Stock.

>> Button users still foot brake.

Great, so they don't need them.

>> Two steps will not go away, the horse is out of the corral !!!!!!!

I don't believe that. You could pencil out two-steps today, and every Stocker in the country could race this weekend with no problem. It's less of a change to racer's programs than when they did away with deep staging. It's my opinion that E-shift should be nipped in the bud now, too.

>> How about the blinder guys, what they're doing is changing the face of full tree racing and there's no complaints?

Two steps are an important part of blinder racing for many racers. Dealing with one marginally affects the other's effectiveness. We don't need Duck Tape on the windshield (there's plenty of other places for Duck Tape!), but there's nothing wrong with a sunvisor, in my opinion. I suck at 'flash' racing, so I haven't even bothered trying it.

>> There's plenty to bitch about, pick a more important subject.

It is an important subject, and there's no reason that it can't be discussed at the same time as thirty other important topics. Let's multi-task.

>> Just cause ya can't win rounds doesn't mean the system is broke

Yeah... I don't think that argument holds up, as there are at least four National and/or World Champions participating in this discussion.

I think the argument should be, "Stock eliminator should (or should not) allow 2-steps because..." Everything else is BS...
