Maybe instead of un- competitive combos I should have said antiquated combos? Yeah, I've got a bunch of bad combos laying around here but I'm not complaining and I'm not looking for new intakes, cams and cylinder heads either. As far as "Bernie Sanders Socialist Stock", it kinda looks like that right now! The ruling hierarchy (read; big-block anything) has gotten so many new "replacement" parts that you can build a new 396,426,427,428, 440 without using ANY STOCK parts! What did all of the peons get? Other than the 302 FFFFords (an action taken by a person in power who knew nothing about what he was doing) we haven't gotten much. We ARE however expected to pick up the same amounts of performance in relation to the index as the hierarchy. And OBTW, why should I have to show anybody 5K in receipts and wait 2 years to get 5 HP back? The way that it's been done lately is to give certain people 5K cash or buy them lunch and you get what you want.

Re: What Stock rules would you change?
Stock Eliminator took giant steps backward when some RACERS confused working on the car with sending e mails to an office in California....It was BENEFICIAL for them, but not for Stock Eliminator....

How about as a "tweak" to the system, during the course of the season the Techs take apart the fastest car of that combo and a mid-pack car of the same combo and do some comparing and find out just who's doing what? And if the fast car's stuff doesn't look at least remotely like the mid-pack car's stuff then he's gone.

Re: What Stock rules would you change?
Lower Indexes some amount, 2-3 seems reasonable.
Race Class at Divisonals not at a National event, except Indy . WITH an index change , NO heads up runs during eliminations at Divisonals. This will allow slower cars to compete and be modivated to work on their cars. To be accepted and enter a National event, you must have made multiple runs during eliminations .500 under or greater ( or some number) at a Divisonal race. National events should be for fast cars. With limited car counts at a National event it's now become a game of how many Divisonals must you attend and can to buy a entery from someone who withdrew. STOCK racing should get back to being a performance class.. Steve Teeter. STK. 6380/6283 |

Secondly, "unless you race a Big Block combo" or certain "good" Small Block combos (340,360,350,some 327s) your roller rockers and solid lifters were given out by NHRA to help keep Big Blocks from breaking stuff. They're worth nothing (or next to nothing) in a non-HP combo. Your 1K ring packages are a joke. The only thing that better shocks do in a not-so-fast combo is improve the Driver, nothing there. Aftermarket carbs? Really? Not here. 3 speeds for 2 speeds? Do you even know why that was done? It was done so that the early Drag Packs and Cobra Jets (that came with Powerglides) could run 3 speeds. It had NOTHING to do with the non-HP Chevys. And you jump to making it about money again. "Bring my money to the track"? Why? If everyone's cheating it's legal right? Do you even know where your burger money comes from? You should pay me a visit some time. I'm looking at it on-the hoof out my window. (that last one is just a little friendly Ba**Busting) Now, do you want to make a SERIOUS wager? Why don't we meet each other at a neutral track and bring some tools and friends. You go to the local junkyard (in case you don't know what that is, it's where poor folks shop for Racecar parts) and get some heads, a carb and an intake for MY combo and I'll go to my buddies Corvette shop and get a set of restoration quality heads, an intake and carb for YOUR combo and we'll change some parts and see who can go faster. I would be willing to wager some of that hamburger-in-the-rough that I will. Bring your money!
