Could Top Stock Come Back?

[BRETV]

I wouldn't limit the years and would just have traditional stockers eligible, NO FS cars. There is newer than 2001 cars in the guide that were massed produced. That's what would be neat is to see new vs old muscle.

To Mr Kunz :
and others ' i have actually been working on a Full program for a new Jr stock eliminator - so i suppose i will just add top stock to it.
More later, i have sponsors -including myself who have expressed interest. perhaps we should meet at gainsville. Rock

Good morning Professor and all,
I would enjoy taking you up on your offer to meet at Gainesville, but can't do so at this time. Work and time won't allow at this point. Don't let that stop your progress with this.
There will be a few obstacles you'll have to endure, Maybe you should reach out to Mr. Dave Ley and get some insight from him. At this point in time I would say he's the Subject Matter Expert. Please continue to fight the good fight.
Have a Great Day.

Respectfully,
Henry Kunz 1534 H/SA

Are you talking about a heads up, no break out one weight break class ?????

SO .... why did it die in the first place?

We had it at the IHRA National events we had at Grand Bend it was great. From what I knew the tech was very hard to police, it's hard to find people that want to spend all night taking their engines apart . It's also hard to take the oil pan off on first gen cars.

The IHRA version of Top Stock got out of hand way too fast. I got a bunch of parts together to build a Buick GS. By the time that I was ready to start the build the combination was no longer viable!

What I am talking about is A, B, C Stockers having a little fun within the existing NHRA rules.

I put some sponsorship money up in 2006- 2007 with Dick Butler when he was really trying to get it going with NHRA. I even built a 2003 Cobra for the class, but it all kinda faded away. When they ran at the US Class Nationals in 2001 it was awesome!! Hopefully some day it can be reality and stick around.

Our trailer company has in the past sponsored or co-sponsored
independent stock and superstock combos on the West Coast
for a number of years.
We would be interested in co-sponsoring and participating in
a Western Jr. Stock race.
