Had to laugh out loud after reading this one! So why were you at the bottom of the 2019 US Nationals Stock Eliminator qualifying sheet???

I've never got too upset about it but there was a time I would see quite a few running wrong spoiler package or grill and it didn't really bother me that much although I had went through alot of trouble to have mine right. Then a few years ago after I had a little success someone called Glendora after I my runner-up at Charlotte complaining that I didn't have my fog lights in the grill. I was like you got to be ****ting me! As far as I knew it was an option and I can tell you there was no performance advantage lol.

I think most abide by the rules and are legal according to the rules in place.

Cheating was invented by the looser of the first drag race. The winner invented the protest.

Pun aside, I think there is a lot of integrity in Class racing. The Stock/SS racers I know out here take great pains to maintain legal engines and drive trains. They keep their Class cars under cover and have built bracket cars for week to week racing.

Or was it the other way around.LOL

It seems like there has always been that small percentage of ones that don't like to play .by the rules. From the outside looking in Tech doesn't seem to be anything like it use to be either. Just my opinion

Shame on all of you. Your only cheating yourself. If you can not run legal, go to another class. Just think being beat by a person not legal....Not right at all.

You are way late to the game ,not all stockers running by the rules , many racers have pushed the engine builders to push the rules for years ,how about at least twenty five years or more ,and it has always been the same story have NHRA call me , what a joke call them for what ,NHRA has no clue about even looking at a cylinder head ,I have heard ,and seen them ask other racers what do you think , what does that tell you ! Find me one racer that does not know there is work being done to the heads ,like grinding etc. and blasted to cover it up, or our favorite go to Acid , for the forty five years I have been around their is few things that stand out, keep who does your work private ,and if you dare tell some one hope he or she cant afford the cost ! also never say your heads have had enhancements ,only NHRA can use that term as they have managed to ruin stock by looking the other way as they see fit ,it may have something to do your lawyer or who did your heads ,and his lawyer ,I just may have read that somewhere now let's see ! I could go on about the trans ,and the electric shift etc ,but I think my turn is up !

The ship with Farmer Dismuke, Greg Xakellis, Cloy Fitzgerald, Dave Danish and several others aboard sailed too long ago with the real rule book on board.

I always assumed class racing was an “honor among thieves” deal. Gray area, loopholes, creative interpretation.

There are quite a few racers in stock and super stock that really don't know if they are legal or not. They have their work done by someone who tells them they can make their car go faster and it will pass tech. Hopefully most of the work performed by these folks is actually legal but I've seen a few examples that if I were the tech guy, I sure wouldn't pass it.
