You guys have to understand Mike at L&L does his best to keep the classes fair. The problem is he is not very knowledgable when it comes to the diesels, I mean come on he's a hard core 6000lb super stock guy. Their idea of stock means just that, BONE STOCK. If they dropped it for this year, I think that is best, there are so few trucks that fit that catagory and actually show up to pull, its not even worth running that class. And to answer the other questions about a dodge getting bumped because of smoke, yes it happens, its not a bias organization by any means.
