[QUOTE=J.R. Haddad;707490]I would guess that we have the least H.P. and they can send us with the
least chance of an incident Least HP? tell that to the Factory Stockers running in the low 9's etc |

Because the crybaby throttle stop classes say it unsafe for them to go out
By the way stock has cars going 170 mph on 9 inch tires

Nah, it’s because the “fans” have packed the stands by 8:00am to see stock eliminator.
and stock has more than a few turds that can’t run 100mph too. Last edited by 1320racer; 01-02-2025 at 10:02 AM. |

They maybe slow but at least the people in the stands understand what is going on during their run. Much hard to understand a car leaving hard maybe even wheel standing, and then dropping dead for a couple of seconds before it accelerates again to run a slow et with a big MPH. Stan |

Stockers are first when SST are not contested at Nats. Otherwise at all national events and divisionals, SST is first. I'm guessing the theory is the same with other comments. Lower hp, bigger tire, least likely to have incident do to cold/marginal race track.

It doesn?t matter when stockers run. I am always parked beside the stocker guy who warms up at 6am and then floods my pit when he changes his water.

Yeah, I was about the only 1 left he had not been to war yet with, my turn was coming. But, my last race week at Thanksgiving racing against a lot of quite fast cars turned out so favorably, that I have fully embraced the slow go, as long as I turn on lotsa win lights.
Beg Edly is the very least of my worries today. Jon & John Irving I am headed your way the end of this month sirs as I need a trailer soon to hook up to an F-150 in my garage. I'll give you a call unless you are going to test in Vegas on the 24th. As soon as I figure out the last few wires of the ignition and fire it up on the Terminator X and start the learn sequence I am going to be tap, tapping a new tune and dancing a little bit faster this year I hope. So, even Ed cannot dampen my 2025 spirits. 7K RPM shift points are going to be sweet to accomplish and work up to. I am the most nocturnal night owl who hates 8:00 AM starts....Unless it is a race day. Heck, it is now 6:08 AM, been working on the racecar and truck all night and now am ready to go to bed. Good night Ed...lmao. "Slow Ride...Take it easy..." Anytime you want to shoe polish race Ed (yeah I know you have a fast car with all the electronics, maybe you might wanna come out for the Spring Fling?) Maybe put a little cash behind that fast mouth of yours.
