I think you missed my point here. What is the ET cut off requiring a roll bar, quarter mile?
So, if a beginner wants to try Stock and he already owns a Fox body that is a natural L car, what do you propose that he should do with it?

He should put in a roll bar and belts, it's not that expensive. a nice set of rims and tires probably cost more!

The point is the discrepancy between the rules for ET brackets & Stock. Why do you need SFI pants and a rollbar in an M stocker, but not a 12.XX bracket car? The competition in the other lane runs just as quickly in both classes...

Here at LVMS, I race my Valiant that runs 11.5 in both Pro and
Sportsman (Been Track Champ in both) with no roll bar/harness
or racing jacket and pants.

However, if I run my Aspen wagon Stocker on a 13.07 index in M/SA =
I must have a roll bar/harness and full Monkey Suit!

I think Yake makes a valid point!

In both Stock and Pro, I routinely run 8 and 9 Second race cars
regularly so any difference that way?

To be honest, that was a thought that came to mind, U/SA and I can run an open face helmet and t shirt and factory seat belt, turn it into a crate motor car (I have all the parts except cam now) and I need all the stuff with time limits on it.

Actually, I got all the plans to build a t bucket and was going to race one of those at one time. The exact reason was the fact that if I run an open top t bucket, I need all the gear that expires every two years..how many passes will I make in two years, divide that by the cost to purchase and then the cost to recert....makes it really expensive per pass compared to a door car running the same ET.

I can get rearended by a 9 second competitor in either class....so....I agree, all ET breaks should be according to ET only and not class.

Mike, Expensive is a relative term here...

Building an FE Ford A& B car is not that expensive either. LOL
