This^. The dyno is a great tool, but the scoreboards and time slip tell the full story. Also, something that may work with one particular engine combination may not work with another.

So this brings up my point again about relocating both batteries to the rear. Would solve many issues with fake batteries, safety during a accident , it just makes no sense ....period !!

But aluminum seats and aluminum Raidiators sure do lol.

If you want to race super/stock then race that class, leave Stock alone!!!!!!!

Great point. The stockers are starting to look like dirt track cars inside with their Kirkey seat. I can't understand that one and then they get all lathered up over a freaking battery. Go figure. I hope this thread reachs any one that was ignorant of the rule as I was and also I learned about battery sizes etc. Thanks all

Found this to be true many times. Is a good place to seat the rings.

Interesting that a stock racer was caught (during tech inspection) with a fake/hollow display battery at a National Event last year. He was allowed to replace it and went on to win the event? Seems a little inconsistent?

Get a court citation and go before 3 different judges and find out how inconsistent each of the sentences and fines are and we want to single out drag racing. Even worse listen to our elected Congressmen talk about the same subject and see if there is ANY consistency. Crap look at the NFL, we suspend a wife beater for 2 games and we suspend a 2 lb low football for 4 games and a million dollars. Great message. NHRA has learned well but it started well before them.
