Stock Eliminator NHRA accepted pistons.

[Alan Roehrich]

People are going to keep screwing around, trying to push the rules to get them changed (people are playing games with ring grooves, etc), keep pushing for "enhancements", and keep asking for parts, features, and functions that are, and have been for decades, specifically kept OUT of Stock Eliminator, and they're going to wake up and find that their class no longer exists.


When you make Stock closely resemble other classes, NHRA is going to decide to just "roll" Stock into something else.


In case you haven't noticed, people like Dave Ley, Redman, and others, who have long been our friends, who loved us, and our class, are being pushed out. NHRA doesn't want them, because they really don't want Stock, or Super Stock, for that matter. Who's next? Travis Miller?


Some of you people better stop dreaming, wake up, and realize, you're going to get what you asked for, because what you're really asking for is the end of Stock Eliminator.

Don't forget you'll be lined up in the staging lanes with 60 junior dragsters along with 60 electic Karts to pull those Go Karts..
Someone told me that kids love the smell and taste of leaded racing fuel..

We grow too soon old, and too late wise.


I have had a lot of great teachers, some no longer with us. I try to speak what they taught me, they were the guys who built our classes. I'm just one of a later generation. I'm not in a position to race now. I'd like to see the classes continue, I might be able to later, or I might be able to bring in the next generation.

A valve spring rule would have stopped all of this nonsense, and we all know how that worked out.

Lots to digest in this post. For perspective, we've put a "mule" engine in our Stocker this year and are racing in PRO category. We wanted to focus on improving our race operations and logistics without wearing out the Stocker engine. To our surprise, we're having just as much fun, and the competition is every bit as fierce as Stock.

Maybe you have to decide if you love drag racing or just the machinations of Stock Eliminator.

The entire point of Stock and Super Stock is to choose what you believe is a competitive combination that you like, and attempt to out work and out think your competition to be faster.


The bracket racing component of the classes came later, to "save them from possible extinction".


The hard core people in the classes still seek to choose a competitive combination that they like, and try to be at least among the fastest, if not the fastest, in their respective class.

That's great, but if you combine the both you have a much richer and satisfying experience.
