Current rules you’d like to see enforced

The problem (s) I see with tear down after racing is that racers and tech maybe want to get home to real jobs and families. Long weekend for both. Too often I driven 6-9 hours half asleep to make work Monday morning.

In the Farmer days every class winner tore down.

How about bringing STOCK back to Stock Eliminator???

I know I don't race myself anymore, and I am NOT trying to throw anyone under the bus.

I love Stock and Super Stock, but I see lots of things that do NOT reflect the intent of Stock.

Randall, you are absolutely right and that is a real issue for most Racers. But we need to come up with some kind of a "happy medium" between tearing everybody down and the way tech, or the lack of it has been for the last few years

I date back to the '60s and winner inspections were a regular weekend ritual at Milan. You might want to teardown repeat winners, but not every winner. Inspection, yes, teardown, maybe.

A lot can be checked without pulling the engine apart. Cam lift and compression are heads on check items. So are intake and carb mods. That level of inspection would help a lot and not leave a car in a pile of parts.

BTW I can't find post race inspections as a rule requirement.

This is a Stock thread, but an issue I have with SS is FWD conversion cars running in a "street car based" class. Maybe require GT cars to use an engine available for the body used without regards to the model year. 68 Camero with any year Camero engine. 70 Mustang with any year Mustang engine. Cobalt with any year Cobalt engine...Or just move FWD conversion cars to Comp. They are more like an Altered anyway after all the tube chassis work.

Not a real problem as most races in Div 2 and 4 end on Saturday...even if scheduled to end on Sunday. TIC...well maybe.
