stock classic

I have tried for a few years to see if i could run my KG ...

Bob; I can relate to your anguish, but the APBA clubs did have a sanctioning issue which has been solved.
So long as they list 'Stock Classic' on the sanction, and this costs them nothing, the Race Director, in consultation with the Referee and Tech Inspector, will slot you in wherever they deem feasible, and safe.
Your KG4H on a hydro, so long as it and you passed safety inspection, could be allowed to run with ASH , if they ran that class. If you were not a nuisance, or a safety hazard, you and your entry fee would be welcome.
You would not score National points, or affect the points awarded to the other ASH finishers. If more than three KG4s entered, they could score you separately. If five or more, they could run you as a regional class, if the race schedule could accommodate more heats. National classes must have priority.
Some clubs still need to get on board with this approach, and some never will.
It is their call.
At Crystal Lake this SEP a KG7H tested on FRI, and looked good to me, but for some reason did not race with the poppers on SAT

I must have misunderstood the title of this thread "What is a Sock Classic?" My response would have been Bill Giles.

... "What is a Sock Classic?" My response would have been Bill Giles.

-sounds as if Classic Bill is getting 'sock-ed' in FL
Three(3) girls finished ahead of him in 125H
We may need to re-consider his position in the

KG-4/Bob,
We have had Stock Classic on the APBA sanction at Top 'O for the last 2 years. Low turnout but we had a blast running the Indian River and part of Mullet Lake. Also, TRORA included Stock Classic on the sanction for the short course Delaware Lake, Ohio race last May but none showed up. We'll likely put them on again in 2011 so come on down !

I run BCH in Canada and love it, this was my first season, had its ups and downs.....lol. Attended Crystal Lake and had a blast at the event, didn't spend enough time setting up my Racecraft to run with the runabout guys safely so I stayed back and outside... it was a new and great experience, I'll have a better setup next year with more traction

I only speak for myself when I say the reason I started racing B wasn't for points, but it was because I grew up watching full flights in the early 90s running down a course and have always dreamed of running the class, bottom line is its a blast to just get out and have fun. Mind you.... that doesn't mean that we arn't competitive, I'm pretty sure almost all of our 20Hs here run 16:21 and there is some seriously tight racing.

Run whatcha brung up here for BCH

Exactly, BCH up here is some of the most competitive racing I've been in! Great class if you love running old mercs, but not all of us run 16:21
