What is your reasoning, shouldn't engines come as produced in Stock?
It's the hp factors thats the problem!

Going by that reasoning maybe we should have a "20 year rule" again in Stock Eliminator.
(does anybody on here even remember that?)

Sure was fun to read all this information from posts by real Class Racers!

yes, I remember, lost a lot of good cars to that, some racers quit , also. nhra wanted to get rid of older cars, eventually, it was set at 1960 and newer. recently, it was changed to 1955 and newer, only chevys are allowed.

Name one roller cam combo that has an advantage over a flat tappet cam combo with the way the cars are classed now?

No we want to race our cars the way the stock rules were intended. We like stock, not super stock. For all you people that think your problems, reliability, and monetarily will be completely solved with allowing your combo to run a roller cam it won’t be. You will still be slow and break parts. Roller lifters break. Ask guys that race Super Stock.

OR maybe a Vin tag?

The mind is a terrible thing. Of course I meant the 15 year rule that was put in place to remove all of the 55-57 Chevys from Stock Eliminator.

Ran 13.65 on 14.10 index in heat, 13.20 on good day.
Drove to countless bracket race events on the East Coast for 20 years.
Including all the IHRA races and Class Nationals.
Empire, Pittsburgh, Richmond, Budds Creek, Lebanon Valley, Island Dragway, Numidia, Beaver Springs, 75&80, Mason Dixon
Changed all 4 wheels to racing tires and wheels.
Back to street to go to motel and back to racing set next day.
Mounted Street tires and back home.
Because that is what I had.

Last Three years tow with a 1994 Caprice wagon and Featherlight trailer.
Took a bit to make it safe and reliable.
Oh and the discoveries of towing, owning and maintaining a trailer.

Just before trailering moved up to F/PS.
Every year found 2 tenths improvement and documented it.

F/PS index 13.75..! Best 12.47 at 107 mph on a good day.
Hot days can run within 2 tenths of the K/SA index, Atco, Cecil a 10th.
Still has a couple more in it too..and going to find them..
Always fiddling and finding incremental improvements..
Goal is to run the 12.65 index on a hot day set up as a Pure Stocker.

But Guess you are right again..!
I do not spend 10 cents, 10 dollars or thousands on anything !
I invest !

I have a real Stocker...you have a Super Stock Light car..
Or is it Called Modified Stock now...!?

At least my car is not so sensitive that it cannot be bracket raced.
Doesn’t need special gas, new harnesses every wink of an eye.
Or Wheelie Bar, Cage, or that fancy sputter putter take off technology.

As for spending money?
How come you are not racing a REAL race car ...
...... like a AA Fuel Dragster or Funny car?
What is the matter you cannot spend the money?

Life is short...I am out to have fun..you are not part of the arithmetic!
I attend S/SS association and Club races where I am welcomed.

I am not here on this planet to meet someones pathetic specious concept...
I do things my way..and been damn successful..

If NHRA doesn’t want my business it goes elsewhere.
And I will invest in those Races..!

I do not need NHRA. .....they need US!
