Just had a few things crossing my mind, so here goes...

1) I was looking at a V6 Lemans wagon today at work, and I wondered, does the fact that the motor sits so far back, compared to a V8 or straight six, help weight transfer at all? What makes those cars so good anyway?

2) Why is there so much discussion about two-steps? I am assuming meaning rev limiter? Are they necessary, particularly in the lower classes? For that matter, can a footbrake guy do alright in Stock, or what do you all recommend?

3) Anybody on here a good slant six guy to talk to?

4) Does a Stocker have to be pretty? I mean, I like a good looking, straight, neatly painted race car as much as the next guy, but is it necessary? Maybe it's my old dirt-tracker mentality...make it a good 20 footer...err...make that a 50 footer...

Just some random thoughts, sound off as you all please...

Thanks!
