Why Stockers First
 

This may have been answered before BUT why are the Stockers the first down the track at the major meets?

Re: Why Stockers First
 

I would guess that we have the least H.P. and they can send us with the
least chance of an incident. We then provide a better tractioned and warm
track for the cars following us. We are then followed by cars based on traction requirements and risk assessment.

Yet the fuel cars are typically first out on Sunday.

Somebody has to go first. Used to be Super Street at the races they were at.

Probably more to do with not running classes back to back that have to weigh and check fuel.

Well, NHRA is thinking about the nineteen-nineties. Can't you tell by the purse?

Because the crybaby throttle stop classes say it unsafe for them to go out
By the way stock has cars going 170 mph on 9 inch tires

Nah, it’s because the “fans” have packed the stands by 8:00am to see stock eliminator.

and stock has more than a few turds that can’t run 100mph too.

Re: Why Stockers First
 

They maybe slow but at least the people in the stands understand what is going on during their run.

Much hard to understand a car leaving hard maybe even wheel standing, and then dropping dead for a couple of seconds before it accelerates again to run a slow et with a big MPH.

There are no fans in the stands at LODRS divisionals!
