"Gonzo apparently feels that the PSMCDR Certified Stock process is not legit!"

When did I say that??? Thats the way its done there and thats fine with me. Clear?

"the fact that it was Certified via a tear down process in Stanton is meaningless? On what basis?" Again when did I say that???

That was 5 years ago, as Pete said on camera. Your missing the point, I have always been nice to Pete and JJ and have no problem with there cars, however some others have brought up their legality. If they want to settle it, then settle it here at our track in a 10 minute process. Whether they do or don't makes no difference to me. The cars are still bad-a** awesome. CLEAR??

But please don't call people names, or insult anybodys intelligence by claiming that Joel Rosen or Bill Mitchell never drove any cars with Bias Ply tires or tested them properly. They in fact had their own Magazine called Hi-Performance Cars, and tested 100's of musclecars back in the day especially Chevy's.

Don't say headers don't make any difference, anybody who has seen a 427 Camaro/Chevelle exhaust manifold and been to a dyno room and swapped on a set of headers, knows they are worth 40-70 hp. Same for slicks, do you think they were running on rock hard tires back then?? They weren't morons you know, how much does it take to figure out a softer no thread tire is better than a harder threaded tire??

The 900 rpm rule. Obviously certain cars came with cams that had lots of overlap which created lopey idles. As Pete pointed out even RAIV Pontiacs had lopey idles. I agree. And I can obviously be flexible as needed, and I am not looking to upset anyone, its the more the merrier here. If any of you read the original posting about Pete's car... It was originally started here when some factory Stockers were complaining about C.O.P.O cars in general.
I defended the use of C.O.P.O cars and added that they were among the baddest muscle cars ever built. And said they are staying like it or not.


The problem escalated when someone pointed out that Pete's car didn't idle below 2000 rpm the whole day....not 900....2000. Pete explained that it was cold that day (degrees) and that he was warming up the car, plus the engine being all-aluminum needed to be warmed up consistently. Some people did not totally accept this answer. I am a bystander in this CLEAR??


"it appears he is unable or unwilling to justify the classification of 'factory stock'"

What are you talking about??? Read rules, you'll be fine.
Relax, have some fun, its not all that important.
