clutchman,,,,you shouldnt have to post a "racing resume" to have an opinion on what direction the class is taking......whether you win a few championships or are a first round donator every event shouldnt make a difference,,,,,,stock needs not to be perverted anymore than it already has....maybe its too late,,who knows

.I had to take couple of years off from the traveling for personal reasons,,,,but plans are underway for a late season stocker

no,,you dont need a transbrake for a delay box to be used at all,,,,but
my concern is not about cheating in the class,,,if I thought for one minute that anyone I had ran, had been using a delay or track counter,,,they would have been looked at,,,,,,,,I myself dont care to protest

My opinion is based on parity in the class,,,,,,fast cars have an overwhelming advantage in stocker racing when the deepstaging got pulled and then fast car got 2 steps and buttons,,,,,,,,,,the bracket racing portion of the class was designed to give any car the same chance to win,,,,(per rules),,,,,,,, 2 steps/button used correctly, are as deadly as any delay box........

Im a slow car person,,,,always have been,,,always will be.......I dont even like to go fast!!!,,,,,,,not that I dont think its killer to watch a SS/A stick car leave the line and know that it takes alot of skill to win in one,,,,,it just the Bracket portion was designed to give the W/SA the same chance ( again per rules) as the AA/S car...rite now,,,unless your a race God, with the starting line advantages of a faster car using the 2 step/button correctly,,,it takes a miracle for one to win a round,,,much less a race,.........

dragracecentral.com is a wonderfull research tool.....if you dont believe me on how much of an impact the 2 steps/buttons has made on stock,,,,,,do a little research on just how much RT`s have improved in the last 2 or 3 years,,,,,,,,,,,,basically, the same bunch has been racing for the last ten years but RT`s have vastly improved in the last 2,,,,,,,,,all the name calling in the world dont change the facts,,,,,,facts are facts,,,,

I personally dont see anything changing,,,,,take it from me first hand,,,,no one wants to see a slow car on the cover of their magazine,,,but thats OK,,,....

there are alot of racers feel the way I do,,,,they just dont speak up,,,they need to while there is still a stock,,,,,the more closely stock looks like superstock,,,,the more of a chance they will combine the classes in the future,,,,,it wouldnt surprise me in the near future for stock and superstock to be combined at nationals...it makes alot of sense to do so instead of eliminating a whole class at nationals,,,just combine them,,,,then the question????? who gets in and who dont??? you can bet it wont be a guy in a W/SA pinto,,,,,,
