I love stockers. I love oddball stockers. I love slow stockers. I love U,V, and W Stock Auto.

I'm not super stoked about NHRA allowing cars with no VINs into Stock Eliminator, but I like that at least in theory, a W/SA Pinto wagon is capable of putting a COPO on the trailer.

The only thing I find interesting in Super Stock, is SS/VX. I would find it tremendously entertaining for an SS/VX car to even go one round, especially against something like a Hemi 'Cuda Super Stocker.

Like you, I am not in favor of where developments in electronic warfare have taken us.

I am not against "power adders", per se. I realize that anyone with a junkyard 5.3 and a Chinese turbo, can make 1,000+ horsepower these days. Maybe that's why "fast" alone, doesn't impress me. But I believe that a 1,000+ horsepower car should be set up in a manner that doesn't make it unnecessarily dangerous, like racing it on 275mm street tires. I always thought Buddy Ingersoll's Comp Eliminator Buick was cool. I'd love to race a 4-cylinder auto-trans 2015 Mustang EcoBoost in I/SA. Again, I'm not against "power adders" per se.
