Sticks & Autos Together (Class)

[Jeff Lee]

I've supported combining the transmissions into one class for years.
We didn't split them off when we street raced so why now?

10-4 on that statement. And why not allow a brake? That would make the stock and S/S combo races a little more fair running them together.. . LOL I can almost see Ed now down on the chip and flinging his (middle) finger off the button to show the competition a "NY salute" as he leaves the starting line. Didnt Hayden Proffit give Dave Strickler the NY salute at the finish line at Indy of 1962 for SS/S class.

Ed, years ago IHRA allowed them but the NHRA cross overs bitched. When the brakes were outlawed in IHRA nothing changed. The NHRA guys still didnt race with them, the cars didnt slow down, and the same IHRA regulars still did most of the winning. NHRA allows everything else to go on (2 steps, lite alum parts in the trans, gear sets, enhanced heads and intakes, wheelie bars, custom short run cars from the manufacturers, etc.) so whats the big deal. Use one or not. Your choice as it makes no difference especially if the 2 $HRA's combine the sticks and automatics for class in the near future.

Half of the content of this website concerns the opposition of parts never meant to be used on stockers.You are one of the most vocal.Now all of a sudden it's ok to dumb down stock because "they allow this and that".You can't have it both ways.Well now f&%$ it I want a Holly 2 bbl and manifold because it was used on AMC 258s built for the Mexican market.And Clifford Eng. makes an alum. head I want that too.See where that will lead to?Then we'll just be SS cars and a lower class car will cost $30K to build to be competitive.
That will bring in a lot of new blood.
Just keep driving nails into the coffin.The funeral will be pretty soon.

Ed I was just saying it has been done in the past. Stock is already about as DUMB as it can get. Next thing will be blowers from the factory and underrated HP factors.....Wait...Thats being done now.

Good,let's allow brakes,and I want an air shifter too.And while I'm at it I want the 2 bbl
intake and Holley carb from the Mexican market AMC's.Also the aluminum Clifford head.
I'm sure Cap't Jack would appreciate that I can leave on green and still cover him.Maybe I could even keep up with Briane Philbrick.Let's give the old A/SA cars a bit more cam to keep up with the new cars.What the hell,it's only another little advantage.
Pretty soon we'll be SSers and an entry level car will cost $30K.That will bring new blood into class racing.Yeah yeah that's the ticket.

Some Stockers are using "E-SHIFT" already. Same Same.
