 Boog, I didn't get a chance to see them in the pits (wish I would have).
 Yeah, that 4 banger was a stick shift, I was impressed. Also, there was a
red
 1st generation V-6, manual shifted Dak that qualified with a 14.11 in his
 respective class.
 
 I checked out the rulebook and noticed somewhat of some restrictive rules in
 place for Stock class. Here are a few.
 
 original or original type air cleaner, stock rods, pushrods, and crank
must
 be used, camshaft must have the factory "lift" or up to .430'' (looks like
 there's no limit on the ''duration"), must use factory correct cylinder
 heads (no porting of polishing), allowed up to +.070'' of original
 cylinder bore dia., open headers permitted, must retain stock unaltered
 intake manifold, high stall converters allowed in the automatics, some rear
 suspension changes are allowed, truck must be within 200lbs. of the factory
 shipping weight, any model transmission (must be same make as vehicle),
must
 retain factory type original throttle body, larger fuel injectors
permitted,
 up to 9'' wide slicks allowed.
 
 I couldn't find anything on rules pertaining with the computer controlled
 vehicles (like if you would have to retain the OBDII on the 96 and newer
 trucks). Does anybody have any ideas?

Didnt see anything about aspiration. Does that mean they could be
supercharged?
Did you run as fast?
I wonder how the hell they did it!
