Today's Stockers are "Gassers"

[Billy Nees]

Just kinda goes to show that either Jeff doesn't spend a whole lotta time hanging around the Stock/SS pits or he doesn't know what the he() he's talking about. Or both!

Didn't NHRA try that back around 1975? As I recall, Truman Fields won the first event.

Why is everyone looking to make it easier to get into stock and SS $ is always the rule whether you run class or brackets.all you keyboard racers if it was easier you people would still be on the computer when I bought my car it was a 3 under turd . Got smoked heads up by Tex millers I should have quit but I'm too stupid or pride full now after 10 years of trial and error my cars pretty good you all need to .Call Deez and grow a pair

He evidently has no clue. Probably also wasn't around, or didn't know what he was looking at when we had the gassers.

Stock is fine,the rules are what we asked for.

The only stockers that are raced unmodified from the factory are the new copos challengers and mustangs .


All others have to be altered from original to make competitive. cams, headers, gears, rollbars and on and on.

to quote Larry the Cable Guy, "That's funny right there."
How many Mustangs, COPO's, and Challengers do you think that are racing that are "unmodified"? ...only the ones sitting in Museums and Garages I suspect.

Gassers were great. Our last was a 40 Willis with a 426 Hemi, Hilborn on gas, clutchflite, probably older than most of the posters here. Old Burkster understands what he is saying. If you go back to my first race; drove the car to the track, took out the jack and spare and took off the hubcaps, race, hope you didn't break it, and don't put the stuff back on and let the rain wash off the numbers and class (A-E Stock, SS was faster than A, so 6 classes) cause it was cool. Our B/G Willis ran about 9.80. Look at today. You got B/SA cars that go that fast. Maybe we are gassers. Stone Woods & Cook could not outrun a naturally aspirated FS/X car.

Today's Pro Stocks are running quicker than the 1970 Top Fuel national record.

Jeff Burk was stating the facts, Stock should be stock, no more acid ported heads and by the way most stockers are Super Stockers and Super Stockers are more Competion eliminator.You're making Stock and super stocker an Elitism status. He's right about allowing an entry level into S&$$ and there's never been a better time for a Pure Stock eliminator. Start them at a divisional race(better than allowing Legend car, Snowmobiles and what else.Just imagine the new blood or old blood racing coming to the races. As soon as I could I would have my pure stocker Challenger ready to race. My two cents.Claude Ruel I am racing just not in Stock.
