In Stock Elim, no Titanium Retainers, or valves.....but you CAN use Titanium valve springs. The DP Engines originally shipped with Titainum retainers that had to be pulled because they werent legal. It was a misunderstanding and honest mistake. But well.....hence no Titanium

Dialing your index is generally not conducive to going rounds. There is no room to play. If you can dial the index and win two rounds in a row, then I would say that you are pretty lucky to survive.

Actually Ed,I think that was Bub Miller who won in Topeka. He drove that car before the late model Camaro and the Comp car. I`m sure it`s the same car that Eric drives now. You are correct though,it is possible to go rounds not running the index,just very unlikely to do it more that once.

Two of the last 4 are Stockers. Holroyd is running Grossi Stocker Buick and Dave Moreno's Mustang is a Stocker too. I agree with Andy's Dad that Tom Watts can run under the new index. Scott Kelley ran a front drive Toyota last year in Super Stock. The SS/BX VW is their first outing with this combo. There is also at one or two other Stocker in the last 7 cars in the field, Scarth and Sorensen.
So from my perspective the index change did not work since there are still Stockers in Super Stock. I still say they should have reduced the index by .5 seconds. It would keep Super Stock Super Stock, not a combo race!

I'd say it worked fine, in this respect :
They sped up the cars at the top a little, and the same for a few at the bottom . It's supposed to be a performance eliminator, right? Every time someone brings up " No heads up in the eliminator" , 90% of the guys here jump up and down in unison , shouting " No way! I'll quit first! " So what's the problem?
