: I am very strongly opposed to dropping the Heavy Super Stock class.
: This class is very popular in Region 2 and usually has full fields,
: or close to it, at most tracks. The proposed alternatives (running
: Heavy Honda or Heavy Mod) would not be acceptable to my members, since
: this would involve investment in new equipment. Most of the Heavy Super
: Stock cars on the four dirt tracks in Region 2 use the Briggs and
: Stratton engine. (The top three finishers in Heavy Stock at the Region 2
: Dirt States Race had Briggs motors). In fact, most of the Super Stock
: class cars on the dirt in Region 2 run the Briggs engine. They are just as
: fast as, if not faster than, the Deco's. The Briggs has been an affordable
: engine here for years, which is why the Honda class has not caught on to
: the extent it has in other parts of the country. On the dirt, Super Stock
: cars counts are 2 to 3 times larger than the Honda classes.
