Re: What Stock rules would you change?
I know you're being facetious here, but I'm not .
Pay out for stick shift win should pay a percentage more (30 ? 40? , 100% more ?) Also no automatic upshift unless the TRANSMISSION was built that way and you're controlling it with the OEM computer.

Re: What Stock rules would you change?
I'd like to see the belts / harness rule go to 3 yrs (at least) because it would match the chassis certification time span. It would just make things a little easier to track - especially for those who have more than one race car.

Change Roll Bar Rule from M/S up
To Roll Bars mandatory if car runs 11.49 or better. Make it the same as for brackets cars. You would see a better spread of cars in K, L and M Lighter car easier on parts. May get a few bracket racers converting to Stock. |

Prior to 2004 the front wheel stock classes were from A - H and Sticks & Auto's were separated like the Rear drive classes. In 04 NHRA pared down the classes from A - E and combined the trannies (no pun intended), giving the sticks a 100 lb penalty. Not sure when they did away w/that penalty. Why did they pare it down to begin with? I wasn't watching the front drivers then. What I've seen with the ratings is firstly they're set by the factories. With the exception of the 2bbl 302 FFFords in "U" , aren't the rest set by the AHFS?

Right because roller lifters never break. Lol

Re: What Stock rules would you change?
Roller lifters break of course but they'll be less abused with the average stocker having .400-.500" lift as opposed to the .800" in a super stocker. Starting a new engine without the dreaded cam break in fear and changing valve springs on the engine would be nice.

Re: What Stock rules would you change?
Been there done that (Dallas National) last weekend. Thankfully Brenda caught it almost immediately...I happened at engine startup at the scales. You are fooling yourself if you think there is less breakage/cost with roller lifters. When the do go bad...they go really bad.

Re: What Stock rules would you change?
Hell yes!...now I can walk up and buy the engine out of any stocker for 10K .
This would certainly make at least a few racers think twice about spending 25K for a engine,and reduce costs for all of us . Might take me a couple weeks to heal up from the arse kicking I most likely will get! Last edited by e vassar; 10-23-2020 at 10:06 AM. Reason: Grammar |
