i can't agree enough. a pure stock is just that, a PURE STOCK! at the rate AMP was going with them last year, they should be called street stocks. pure stocks are supposed to be a stock engine, 2 barrel carb, all steel, factory clutch, factory transmissions, factory rear-ends, stock steel bodies or stock appearing STEEL bodies. over the past few years, pure stocks have become street stocks, street stocks have become something completely different as well. outlaw stocks if you will. its a bit sad, when the Semi Late division, hypothetically costs less than the street stocks should, and they run about the same lap times. this past year there were a couple street stocks that would have competed well against the entire late model class. it's out of hand, this is my opinion, and i personally have no problem putting it out there.
what do u expect to happen when u win the semi-late feature and get less pay out money then the guy that wins the pure stock feature
