Re: Misconception on a slow stocker winning
Bob, my experience is opposite of yours. Maybe not the great photo opportunity but I always root for slow stockers, my favorite being Darrick Ellam’s dragon slaying pinto wagon “woody”. Have heard the roar of approval many times when the slow cars take out the big dogs, who roots against the underdog?

Re: Misconception on a slow stocker winning
Being from out on the west coast Darrick's wagon is one of my favorites. Jim Mantle's Pacer Wagon is another and , YES, I root for the slow cars to win. They don't always accomplish the goal, but is really fun when they do. I know there are many more SLOW stockers out there, these are just 2 of my favorite cars to watch.
Really fun when they are being chased by a new Copo, Drag Pack or Cobra Jet.

Re: Misconception on a slow stocker winning
Hope you will be cheering for me. Just bought Michael Beard's 1987 Tursimo DF/SA. Will have it ready for the 2023 LODRS. It should be fun!

Re: Misconception on a slow stocker winning
I wasn't able to race as much as I wanted to this year, grandkids in sports kept me busy. But, I don't think I had anybody say they didn't like my car. I had plenty say they did, especially if "The Buzzin' Half Dozen Too" went a few rounds.

Re: Misconception on a slow stocker winning
On DRC check out Darrick’s rounds yesterday at Famosa. Took out Sorensen (no small feat and revenge for Vegas D7 final 3 years ago) and then Jody (unquestionably the best “slow” racer).
