Afraid Denver is not an indication on the pulse of sport as it always has low car counts. Columbus divisional 102 stockers 79 super stock.

Thank you. It actually was a shock.

Gentlemen, I appreciate the place to discuss my view of Racing Class in Stk and SS.
There is a place for every type of racing in these eliminators.
I appreciate all your input and opinions. I appreciate you listening to my thoughts.
Lets end this discussion with a hand shake and a thank you at this time.
Good Luck and I hope to see you all at the races..

As far as crate engines go in stock cars if you have the money & know the right people you can buy the special head bolts & intake bolts that cant be duplicated . So why would that work in NHRA any better ? If you have claimer engines the guy with the money just keeps buying the fast guys stuff until he gets tired of building new engines.

Who Builds a car for just for class racing and not for the bracket part of it ?

[Jeff Niceswanger]

Just left the divisional at Columbus... Final was heads up in Superstock with at least 2 other heads ups in the 3rd and 4th rounds...If you built a motor for the " Bracket " part of it ....you left early .
