Default RANT No. 6,234,012

"Next up is this: I like the Factory Stock class. They did major wheelstands, heads up racing; just exciting cars to watch. However, I think it might be teetering on getting out of hand."

Dis-rant No. 1

Disagree on both counts, racers will typically take more space “just in case”. Bigger tire on FSS cars and then it’s just Jr. Pro Stock, no thanks. With bigger tires FSS cars would carry the front wheels minimally just like PS Camaro.

P.S. I like most of your rants.

The key to this class IS the 9” tire. NHRA has a good thing going. Don’t mess with it

Might I ask ..How many Stocker teams can afford new 9" tires every race? New set for the final round?
