Pro stock

[Jeff Teuton]

I would like to see a format like Top Stock used to be. Qualifying 2 on Friday, one more Sat Morning and finish on Sat Night. Other than odd amount on first round, no bye, fast looser from the previous round comes back, heads up. They have moved a little toward that with the .500 pro tree, but qualifying 8 and the rest go back to stock don't work. Separate eliminator, separate everything. If you want to run Stock, bring another car. I really have not cared for the format since the first race. Indexes too liberal, or many other things. And blown vs unblown don't work. Lot's of complaints from the Stock guys and girls, mostly true. Maybe it will get better.

I remember when yourself , the Teuton's and a few others raced Top Stock and the stands were full. It was a great time for Stock in general.

There ya go. Works for me. We get to watch it too.

Pro Stock at Divisionals , under the lights ..Yeah!

I like what Jeff said. Need to work Pro Stock back into division races. For Nationals.....qualify 8, plus something to do with division racers, like division leader gets a first round bye. I also like "the fast loser" part. Personally, I would like to see a 14x32 tire rule.
