Really? Pumping any S or SS ? Haven't seen anybody cheat that poorly since about 1985.

Actually the last couple of years I don't remember anyone getting tossed. I could be wrong though. I really believe most of the hard core S and SS racers are legit.

This is only the opinion of a former racer but, nevertheless, one who has spent his fair share of time in the barn. Stock and Super Stock attained viability and have maintained it for a limited number reasons. Farmer Dismuke, with Wally Parks' blessing, made Stock successful by establishing and holding fast to a very simple and straightforward vision, "Fact is Truth" and a true fact is quantifiable. Failure to adhere to Farmer's vision was a quick ticket to the back row of spectators. The fact that the eliminator has drifted this far along the pathway to irrelevancy in spite of a recent era of benevolent neglect and laissez faire enforcement is testament to the legacy that was forged in the atmosphere depicted in Dwight's picture and one that is sorely needed, today and everyday (in my opinion).

The clock is ticking...

Lest there be any confusion, that picture is the property of Dwight Southerland and it can be found on his invaluable website, Class Racer Info.com. He generously provided permission for its use in this context.

Not to mention.. Checking bore and stroke is about the easiest thing to measure with a head off. Things are much more sophisticated today.
