you think the 97 pur stock can win championship

Why is there sniper chassis in a pure stock class?

exactly, they probably play pick-up basketball down at the junior high too,....lol

Just cherry picking is all that car is doing

If you all spent half the time those guys do on thier cars maybe you could win a few. They don't wait around tell Friday night or satuday to work on it. So stop crying.

Im pretty sure I spend more then most working on my car. I was just asking a question. I think its funny how that's the first thing that comes up, is about the chassis. Yes. It's a great car. Is it fair, Prolly not. It's a entry level class right? Anyways I enjoy racing against shotts. He is a great person and a great competitor. Look forward to battling him for championship. You can give a guy the best car, but he still has to drive it.

I went snipe hunting a couple times does that count???

I dont get it... Just beacuse a guy builds a car then puts a "name" on it, all of a sudden its a professionally built car? Guess we will put "MULLINS RACE ENGINES" sticker on the hood so you all have something else to complain about...

Then they will claim the motor and walk around sayin we bought a MULLINS RACE ENGINE for 1000$ well they would need a sticker too I guess. But that would be funny.

I have mixed feelings about this topic. On one hand it is an entry level class, but what does a guy who has no mechanical talent do when wanting to race? He goes out and buys a chassis from someone that knows how to build a racecar. I think that kind of tweaks the nose of a purist racer, but it is the smart thing to do. I recently threw my hat in the ring, got a car together (built by someone else) and started to race. I cannot imagine how it would have went if I didn't have the support network I have. Other racers, mechanics are resources that take time to build up and some people just want to drive.

I have no problem with someone buying a chassis to race. What I do have a problem with is people edging the rules knowing what they are doing is wrong both in the letter of the rules and the spirit of the rules. Notice I did not say that I have a problem with racing programs that can afford to put as much money as possible (within the rules) into their cars. That is just human nature.
