Lets see, aftermarket lightened block, aftermarket stroked crank, aftermarket rods, pistons with radial gas ported rings, oversize cam core, moved lifter bores, Jesel rockers, aluminum heads, replacement carburetor etc etc etc. Nothing really stock here

You need to go to opens to set records and worry more about lowering the class average to not get hp. And aside from the occasional heads up, its just a shoe polish bracket race. Seems the real winners here are the engine builders

A quick question though, when is breaking the rules not cheating. Integrity is a weird premise sometimes. If I hide my delay box and dont get caught, am I a hero or zero. When is cheating not cheating? asking so I know what to tell my wife

When was the last time a Pro Ball player admitted they trapped/dropped a ball? Missed a tag? etc. Coach admitted the ref/ump missed a call that should have been in the opposing teams favor? Politicians? You have a monumental question there!

That's right Don, and those "firm rules" are so strictly enforced right?
But you can trust me! ;-)

They should be!

(It really sucks to get beat heads-up by .01 when the guy in the other lane has just been allowed to break a bunch of these rules and tech made you take your ice off before you entered staging...)

Kind of like all the illegal blinders

Again, no victims, only willing participants!

After reading this thread I started to realize the differences with other categories and I thought of how we are all at the same track, running different machines, in different individual classes, that we all, on occasion, watch other categories. And are aware of the different scenarios each face, yet our opinions surface and our true colors are exposed. With this, I have a confession to make.

" I run in one of the slower classes in Stock Eliminator, and I have friends that run in T/S and T/D, also SC, SG, and SST. And even some bracket racers."

ok, ok and Jr. Dragsters.

I'm guessing no towing your stocker to the lanes with a golf cart then?

They let us tow to the lanes last year because a few did not pit with the rest of us! I hope the same people to the same thing this year because towing is alright by me!!!!!
