In the early 70's A stock class was STOCK.
That meant that the machine could not be modified in any way,
other then seat belts and a 3 point roll cage.
It had to be just the way you bought the machine from the factory.
No carb modifications or exhaust we're allowed.
Most atv's in this class we're single cylinder engines. JLO 295's & 297.
Terra Tiger also came stock with the JLO 297.
It was a popular class because you didn't have to spend a lot of money.
Just buy one and race it.
That's how I got started.
I don't think there are very many real stock machines around any more.
Maybe it's time for some real rule changes.
Make it easier and affordable and maybe more people will show up to race.
It has to be fair.
You can't have someone with a real Stock machine race the same class with someone
who has a 22hp V-twin with dual carbs and custom headers.
They should have a special weed eater class.
Just thought I'd give you all something to talk about.
I remember 2 and sometimes 3 heat races to narrow the field down from 30-40 entries.
Watch some of my old video's, it would be nice to see that kind of turnout again.
