I'm not convinced that SP, Prep and Mod cars aren't lagging behind Stock
because most of us have already spent a ton on our cars and that the benefits
aren't as obvious. Ask Frank Stagnaro, Barry Spencer, Vic Sias, etc. about
the high zoot shocks! I'd bet that there will be about a 5-10% increase in
the number of cars showing up at Nationals with them, in CP alone. Yes,
Stockers are trying to do something with shocks that the rest of us can do
with springs, but that is not a good reason to take the Stock category
farther away from stock.
