You are way late to the game ,not all stockers running by the rules , many racers have pushed the engine builders to push the rules for years ,how about at least twenty five years or more ,and it has always been the same story have NHRA call me , what a joke call them for what ,NHRA has no clue about even looking at a cylinder head ,I have heard ,and seen them ask other racers what do you think , what does that tell you ! Find me one racer that does not know there is work being done to the heads ,like grinding etc. and blasted to cover it up, or our favorite go to Acid , for the forty five years I have been around their is few things that stand out, keep who does your work private ,and if you dare tell some one hope he or she cant afford the cost ! also never say your heads have had enhancements ,only NHRA can use that term as they have managed to ruin stock by looking the other way as they see fit ,it may have something to do your lawyer or who did your heads ,and his lawyer ,I just may have read that somewhere now let's see ! I could go on about the trans ,and the electric shift etc ,but I think my turn is up !

The ship with Farmer Dismuke, Greg Xakellis, Cloy Fitzgerald, Dave Danish and several others aboard sailed too long ago with the real rule book on board.

I always assumed class racing was an “honor among thieves” deal. Gray area, loopholes, creative interpretation.

There are quite a few racers in stock and super stock that really don't know if they are legal or not. They have their work done by someone who tells them they can make their car go faster and it will pass tech. Hopefully most of the work performed by these folks is actually legal but I've seen a few examples that if I were the tech guy, I sure wouldn't pass it.

The beginning post to the thread. Mr. Parker must have had his reasons.

He has not chimed in since his initial post, and no one has asked him what led him to post it...

The internet is infested with Trolls/Windbags/Mudslingers
by the legion.!!! Every Mother's Son anxious to stir up the S**t!

We will have 4 to 6 Stock and Superstocks at the remaining several
West Coast Races. Anyone can bring a 12 Pack and crawl in /under /around any of them
and we will let anyone expect them and even assist us to drink the Beer.
Nothing obvious to see here gentleman!
