Don't have a dog in the hunt.

But, I'm enjoying this thread. Until last season, I didn't know a Stocker could switch over & run SS, without changes.

Then I noticed that Lindy Lindholm ran his Bird(which was stolen) in SS, & a late model in Stock, at the same race.

As long as the safety rules are met, I don't see a problem with it. Due to the bracket-like, dial-your-own nature of non-heads-up races, as long as the Stocker can run the SS index, it has just as good a chance of winning as the quickest SS car has.

Maybe THAT'S why some guys who have spent LOTS of money makin their SS car super quick don't want cheaper-to-build Stockers running SS.

But, I can't really see any difference in running against a slow, low buck SS car, than running against a Stocker that is quick enuff to run it's SS index.

What's the problem with it ? Should NHRA stop it, because some of the quick SS guys don't like it ? Would like to hear more opinions about it.

Lower quotas at Nat. events and some of the SS entries get filled with cars built to run Stock Elim., the class they normally run. I think that's not right. My opinion.
