Wait, isn't there a stock class for those that don't want to prep their cars? Lol

If it passes and doesn't go into effect until 2014, then I would *highly* recommend the STX people leave their E85 at home this year. As Simmons said above, it would suck bad to risk having the car re-classed when it won't actually be as fast.

I was thinking, I can run the e85 this season then sell the car at Nationals?

Hell, if you don't put it up for sale within the next two weeks I'll be surprised.

to be competitive in stock class you need

1. hoosiers
2. the best exhaust you can get your hands on, preferably titanium
3. the best shocks money can buy tuned to your specific car
4. swaybar

you're actually better off in a street tire class because the amount of laid back people goes up substantially

People win on cheap (and at times, stock) dampers often.

Back on STX topic--sorry for the derailment...
