Totally agree! Especially at a national event, C'mon Man! Ain't like he showed up with a blower strapped to it. Also if they are looking so hard why wasn't it caught at Charlotte when etched there?

What NHRA said about all of this was that "you are going to the race with the intent to cheat".

Bob,
When did cooling your fuel become an offense? Have they made cool cans illegal then also?

Funny thing is I tried freezing the fuel on the dyno. Was worth nothing! Lol.

This^. The dyno is a great tool, but the scoreboards and time slip tell the full story. Also, something that may work with one particular engine combination may not work with another.

So this brings up my point again about relocating both batteries to the rear. Would solve many issues with fake batteries, safety during a accident , it just makes no sense ....period !!

But aluminum seats and aluminum Raidiators sure do lol.

If you want to race super/stock then race that class, leave Stock alone!!!!!!!

Great point. The stockers are starting to look like dirt track cars inside with their Kirkey seat. I can't understand that one and then they get all lathered up over a freaking battery. Go figure. I hope this thread reachs any one that was ignorant of the rule as I was and also I learned about battery sizes etc. Thanks all

Found this to be true many times. Is a good place to seat the rings.
