My Super Stock Chevy II......(project)

A word to the wise, just because some get away with something...does not make it legal...no matter who you are! I have several "best engineered" awards myself. I have also brought about change in the NHRA rule book. I know that NHRA inspection is not what it used to be either. If I was going to stretch the rules (and have from time to time) I call *Wesley Roberson and/or Bruce Bachelder. This is just a friendly reminder, I would hate to see anyone spend the time, effort, and $$$$$ only to have them say...you can't race it in Super/Stock. Also remember that it's easy to build something cool or trick, when building outside the limitations of the rules. Example: a tube chassis would be trick for traditional Super/Stock, but not legal! Wesley will be the first to tell you "if the rule don't say you can....then you can't " some folks get that twisted and think " if the rule book don't say you can't...then you can....and Bruce is not flexible at all! Take my advise, and ask the questions to the people that count. My procedure is to send e-mails with photos attached, then you will have a receipt of acceptance from the top! Educate youself and enjoy what you built!

NHRA Bruce Bachelder
IHRA Mike Baker
