No Stock Eliminator at Winternationals? - Page 3

Evan, exactly.

It would be beyond stupid for NHRA to shut out class cars right when the mfgs are starting to build and advertise these types of vehicles.

No Ed.....Your not a "Dumb Okie".....You just were not that familiar wih the class rules. I dealt with them for years in the past. Top Sportsman and Top Dragster are even allowed delay boxes just like any electronics fast bracket class. The sad part is they are treated as stars with the best pit parking and allowed tow vehicles to staging while the real racers are pushed to the "south forty".

Update on Winternationals entry: Word from racers at the track this morning indicates that there will be NO lockouts at the 50th event. Out-of-town racers who asked about leaving Stockers on the west coast over the winter were reportedly advised that Stock will be contested in February.

I agree with Evan. Post anything and people will spread it like fire.

Have some respect, Steve Hagberg wouldn't get on here and post nonsense rumors.

Well just look who started this thread and that will tell the whole story, it aint the first time!!!

Evan Smith · 11-12-2009, 04:06 PM

If he had any respect for this community he would have posted facts, not rumors. Such as who he heard it from so there is accountability for such a statement.

It seems to me that if someone says they called NHRA and asked and they said they haven't decided yet that means they ARE/WERE thinking about it.....that no longer qualifies as a rumor does it?.....

Ed,I wasn't trying to beat up on you.I didn't realise you weren't familiar with their format.We've had them here in Div 1 for quite a while and everyone is pretty familiar with how they run.And yes,they do get preferential parking when they race.
And Jack,is that with or without sand in the Vaseline?
