Stock seat clarification please

what is stock in stock?

[eddie c]

For those of us who remember,I believe back in 1971 NHRA drastically
changed the rules for stock eliminator. Basically all the stock eliminator
cars were mandated to go to superstock.Stock eliminator was now a
clean sheet of paper,with very few modifications allowed. No slicks or headers.Factory cam shafts only.It was pure stock with open exhausts.
Now I believe NHRA was fed up giving all the stock guys all their little
requests for so many years that the cars running stock were far ,far away
from anything resembling a stock vehicle. I remember asking the Div 1
tech director why the drastic change and he said there were so few
differences between stock and super stock that they felt it best to
combine the classes and make stock more like its namesake. I think
we need to look at this again. How many differences are there between
the stock and super stock classes! ed

All of the safety equipment we use only makes our racing safer not 100% without risk. Stock seats are nothing but steel, foam, and upholstery. If you have not tried to make your stock seat stronger or safer, then you have no need for a replacement custom lightweight aluminum carbon fiber racing seat.

A well known Pro Stock racer at a D2 race once asked me to inquire about checking Pro Stock gas. The "man in charge" (I won't mention names) told me "We have no way to check for what they are doing." In other words, it passed our tests so (today) it's legal.
