![]() ![]() i'd have to rebuild the whole thing" and the complaint would go away. If someone ever did complain you give them the "we been runnin it this way for years with no problems. The rules have always been very grey areaish and over the years drivers/builders (myself included) took advantages wherever we felt we could get away with it. The tech guys for this class have been and are woefully inadequt, it's not like the mods/sportsman where basically everyone has the same exact thing. Why? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ They didn't want to piss anyone off and chase them away spcially in a "support" division. For years tracks owners ignored the protests of the lower $ drivers and allowed the cars to slowly morph into what they are now. Around here, the pure stocks are completely out of control, some guys have the budgets to easily move up to late models and not miss a beat.ĭon't get me started but the gist. IF the rules and tech people keep a handle on these to keep them factory nning PCM scans, not allowing aftermarket equipment etc, these cars will be the street stocks of the future. FWD Compacts are just beginning to gain a toehold here. The top guys could easily move to Limited or Crate Late Models for the money they spend to win a couple hundred bux with these things. Some of the guys have even gone down to Hendrick's in Charlotte and bought used SB2 Nascar Cup motors. There are even a couple of chassis builders, Rebel being one specializing in the construction of street stock chassis. I wouldn't mind seeing a whole field of these with pre-'70 bodies.ĭown here in NE/Oh and W/Pa, the Street stocks, Pure Stocks or whatever any given track calls them have gotten as carried away as anywhere. ![]() These chassis were built in the late '70s. Looking at the placement of the sway bar, if it's a Howe, it's an old 3rd design with a pre '82 Camaro front stub, perimeter tube side rails and such. Hopefully the class can grow a little more and the rules get ENFORCED!!! There's been some good races between a v-8 camaro and a v-6 VW Jetta. However I've listened to a few of them and you can tell when something has had a cam swap. The class has almost become pro stocks, and in many cases they have better engines then pro stocks.Ĭan-am now has the new "Pure stock" class where 6cylinders, v-8's, and fuel injection is allowed. At least one of the cars is a former blacktop late model chassis with sliders in the rear end. There are a couple cars that run at Can-am whose drivers pretty much sit on the rear axle. When a Street stock costs 5-6k$ to build and then another 5 or more for an engine it's time to move up. We figured it's just as expensive to run an IMCA as it is a Street Stock. My brother has purchased an IMCA mod to run. This is precisely why we got rid of our car (and yes our car looked more like a pro stock, the 100.7). 2 years ago at Can-am they were called pure stocks (with a fairly decent set of rules) and DIRT decided to open up the rules on this class. I can't agree more with Zach, the street stocks have gotten out of control. that's what a street stock should look like to me. the cars need to look stock, stock 85 monte carlo bodies or 70's camaro bodies. sorry guys, but that's a pro stock to me. ![]() there was a white and orange car with blue numbers i think it was. i don't now if anyone else saw it friday night, but DIRT is letting old pro stock chassis run. you take a car off the road, put a rollcage in it, do some other minor safety modifications to them and put in a nice 350 and go racing. sort=1#imageIs it just me or is he driving this car from the backseat? Where did the trunk go? Why isnt there a roof over the passenger side?Its cars like these that are ruining street stock racing. ![]()
