I know that a lot more Stock racers read this site than post on it. I would think that you would be doing a good deed if you posted your observations. You wouldn't have to identify the driver, car, or event. Just point out the infraction.

For example, "No 2013 COPO came with a supercharger".

If we really want to save this class and not hurt feelings at the track protesting everyone, it might be time for a little "self policing"?

I see a “keep your tech in check” thread ahead!
But I’d hate to be the only guy racing a particular year, make, model. Compare that to being stuck on an island with shark infested waters. All the more reason to keep it legal.

Why would you say that!?! I would say that it is a distinct advantage.

You might want to rethink of some of the possibilities of your statement.
Sometimes being different is what it takes.

Trucks get to visit the barn regularly. I have experienced plenty as a truck owner

As one pro stock racer explained; being protested is fully within in the rules and is part of the game we play.
