You are not alone in moving "up" to a slower Stocker Charlie, up here in Div. 6, we have a couple of 6 cylinder Stock racers who used to race much faster cars. Jim Mantle runs a 258 powered AMC Pacer wagon in V/SA, his last race car before the Pacer was a high 8 second 68 AMX (with real Rambler power!)
Bruce Flodin races a V6 Dodge Dakota in P/SA, he used to run a 318 in the same truck in DT/SA earlier on, but ran a S/G roadster for many many years before that.
Even my own M/S 302 Mustang is almost 2 1/2 seconds slower than my bracket car, but I like the small performance gains within the (still) fairly tight limitations that Stock Eliminator demands, the challenge keeps it fun,regardless of how slow it may seem to others.
I don`t get to California as often as I`d like, but I did get to Sonoma in 2010, and I met plenty of area racers there for the 1rst time, including Ron Durham and Charlie Allen, and like most racers anywhere, they seemed like fine people. Saying that you dislike every person from a certain state in a pretty small minded thing to say.
