Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

I have seen this more in the past few years now,if stock is a eliminator at a event why do some stockers enter in SS.Purse money the same,contingency money also. if you draw a heads up with a natural SS tough to advance to next round.

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

So they can sleep in a little longer.

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

lol

never thought of that.

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Super Stock is easier then Stock

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Love the way some folks like to stir the pot...LOL

If you don't like to give big spots this is one way around it.

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

I believe that most of those cross dressers fall into stock classes that are now populated with the new factory racecars and can no longer compete. Fewer cars in SS, very diversified class with not many head up races relative to stock.

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Because they can..They are fast stockers

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

I think it because of the rule changes in recent years. Stockers are not stockers. They are much closer to S/S.

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

LOL, not the first time I have heard that!

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

For some the quota may have been full when trying to enter as well. Pomona is typically pretty fast so ditto to what Mark said for some there.

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

lmao

Leave it to Perrone to give you a no BS answer :)

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Are you allowed to double enter a stocker and run both stock and ss?

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Good question Sleeping in may be the correct answer...

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

And, if they would put mufflers on the stockers we could get a few more winks. LOL

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

No, only double entry deal I know about is in D2 where you can enter a car in a regular class and also run their 10.0, 11.0, and 12.0 index classes. I've seen a few stockers do it but never a SS car.

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Helps keep the average down, huh Ed?

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Yea. When I see an LT1 Stocker entered in SS, I want to go give them a hug. :-)

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Me too !

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

This is morphing into a threat.

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Fear of teardown.

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

I ran SS a couple of times. O'Malley pointed one of them big hands at me with an equally big finger and told me to 'get the ---- out of SS and go back with where I belong' so I did. Always trying to help.

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

I would go hug your Moma. Much prettier.

Jeff, that boy does have some hands on him doesn't he?
Wonder if what they say about that is true? Never mind. I don't really want to know. LOL

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Works for me. Her....not so much. :cool:

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

That was kinda cold. She might think I'm purty.

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Sorry about that. It was a bit cold. I would even be ok with it as long as it wasn't a full frontal.

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

You may be pushing for a stock /superstock combo in the future by doing this.Since some of you cross over it may just give them an idea to do that very thing ...That would be a can of worms for sure...

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Because they can.

In 2008, I had a gold card, so I ran my crate motor car in Stock, and drove Johnny Fisher's Mirada in Super Stock. Finished 6th in the world in Super Stock. Brian Rowe won a couple in Richie DeCola's stocker Camaro that year too. I told him they were going to come up with *minimum* tire width rule! :p

Didn't always work... Super Stock was first out each day at the Columbus LODRS last year! Had rain coming into the weekend. After prep, I was *the* first car down the track. 2nd best 60' since we backhalfed the car. -=thumbs up=-

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Yep, and they will be getting rid of S/SS any day now ... :rolleyes:

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Ok, what does this have to do with Stockers running in Super Stock!!! :eek: LOL

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

They can run a ported head class where they belong.

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Sometimes it's easier to qualify in SS then it is in Stock depending on who showed up and how many can run/will run further under the index. Sometimes if there was a lot of people running the combo in stock and few running it in SS the factor maybe more appealing that hasn't had as many/any at all HP hits.

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Where do you have to qualify besides Indy? And to do it there you better have one fast stocker...or a Wong combo.

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Ta dum!

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Someone slept to long and the quota in stock was full and only SS was open-there is a new twist on the sleeping late answer.

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

My "U" cars dont have a place in super stock so go easy on me! I would go SS/PA with the truck but they wont let me.

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

A lot of super stockers came from stock, you take a stocker and start porting, changing the valvetrain, add a transbrake, bigger tires, etc. And there is the part about sleeping a little later...

Re: Stockers entered in Super Stock
 

Sleeping late is nice, but that little twinge of a 'headache' early makes your reaction good, or maybe not, depending on the twinge size.
