Just when I thought I've seen it all ........

I'm not sure of the outcome statistics nor am I complaining about the rules of these races. My point is that these races are more of a change of pace type of deal to go have some fun and since it is hard to draw 30-40 super stockers and 30-40 stockers my guess is that is the reason combos were created in the first place. From a purely objective stance, super stockers have the upper hand if they are allowed more mods and driver aids.

I just looked at the results from Hagerstown congratulations on the win. From the looks of that race you may be on to something with all 4 finalist being super/stock cars.

An A/FX car at a combo race is the least of our worries and although a cool looking car, I don't think he made it out of first round.

Bobby, I share your thoughts about footbrake vs. transbrake & adjustable button. But in the interest of keeping Stock and SS alive via these regional Combo Association races, it's one of the compromises that we have to deal with.

BTW, a bit off topic, but I see this same footbrake vs. transbrake issue being a challenge for NMCA in attracting car count for its new STK/SS Combo in 2017.

Out here it changed enough to drive some away.

Full on bracket cars were allowed as long as they could figure a class (tongue in cheek) to run in.

Can dial over the index.- so GT class but just slow

Progress - I think not - they have a bracket to run in but if you are a favorite son (or grandson in this case) its OK.

It really makes it hard to see why they call it stock/super stock.

Wow! Why would anybody with a legit car want to run under those rules? Just call it a bracket race.
