Don't read this if you don't care about super stock's future

I am looking at the cover of my National Dragster and can't help but think.. How in God's name is that Hoover vacuum cleaner coming out of that hood scoop legal? Looks like they beheaded Snuffaluffagus. Truly putting the BS in SS/BS

Mandatory. Fiberglass permitted. Carburetor must be completely
covered by hood, bubble, or scoop, which must be part of car hood.
Hood latches, hinges, springs, and brackets may be removed.

We have the rule book which Div. 1,2, 3, 4, & 5 has to play by. Then we have the West Coast Rulebook which is a lot better. But the BEST rulebook is the "California Car Cover" rulebook.

[countrypuppy4865]

Might be another case of the west coast rule book?

I haven't seen it but I would have to say shhhhh it's the west coast rule..

Buy a Cobrajet load it up and move to Ca. All of your problems will be solved.
And quit whining.

But I'm still proud to run to true super stock car.

I'm a math teacher, I'm around whining all day maybe I picked up some bad habits. Once in a while I still whine about my poor father getting screwed out of his first and only win (1989 Super Stock Nationals at Maple Grove) because of his wheelbase being too short by a quarter of an inch. The win went to the runner up guy who's name I won't disclose who was using illegal electronics at the time. This sport has always been political but it's more addicting than any damn drug out there so we don't stop playing it.

In any case, Lend me the money to build one of these 8 second comp cars, put it in super stock, and I'll guarantee you a world championship in my first year.

Guarantee???? Really? Tell you what-I bet we could get enough people together to loan you the money. But how about if you don't win on your "guarantee", you pay back the entire loan PLUS $20,000 in interest and penalty since it's so easy in one of those cars....

[Bobby Fazio]

You're on brother! $20,000 interest? I guess that's accurate though considering I can barely get student loans for grad school in this tight economy. Can't we go through a credit union? Don't let my Joe Namath prediction that has no shot of coming true take away from my original post.. I'll save that for another thread.. get your checkbook out!

Rules are being broken Mark.

Mark, I am in for $100 at least and I am sure that Lee would be interested and next week at Atco I am sure that people would be throwing money hand over fist to get in. We could have him in the car for a few test runs by the Dutch. And I "guarentee" that he doesn't finish in the top 10. Any sidebets. This could get interesting. I don't want to seem like a jerk but that just seems like a ridiculous statement.
