Level Playing Field

If superchargers are going to be legal in some classes of Stock Eliminator, I think normally aspirated cars in the same class should be allowed to run nitrous.

Jim,

I think you are onto a great idea. 1 stage or multiple stages? You never know, it may bring some contingency sponsors into the deal. AA/S running in the 8's sounds scary on a 9x30 tire and the older cars won't stop worth a darn but heck it adds excitement.

Just to rub it in... I found this video of the new Cobra Jet Stocker being tested.

I imagine they'll be faster with the ram air hood and 9x 30's

Jim, superchargers (and turbochargers) are legal in all Stock classes and always have been. I you ever figure out how to "level the playing field" in Drag Racing in general and Stock in particular let me know so that I can get you working on "leveling the playing field" of life!

Billy, for that kind of tillage you would require the "cultural cultivator".
