"I wouldn't say there is no cheating… There are a few top tier racers in the class that have pushed the rule book a little beyond what's acceptable. There have been guys who have been caught and guys who were rumored to be cheating, but were never caught and were legal the next time the car was out."
You'll find more of that sort of thing in Pure Stock vs FAST, as in FAST it simply has to be "factory appearing" or basically look correct and have the correct part number(s), etc.
"Stock" classes in just about every sort of drag racing have always had some folks pushing limits and going outside boundaries. Some get away with it, some don't, and for sure there isn't anyone looking at you real hard until you start beating up on everyone!.......FWIW.....Cliff
