Great idea. Actually a few guys here actually submitted such a proposal. It's been ignored, as of today.

Take 20% off ALL gross rated cars that haven't been run in 5 years.
Not just 383's, 426's, 428 Pontiacs...ALL . Fair is fair.
Billy , care to elaborate ?

Better yet, 20% off any combo in the classification guide that has not run one single pass under index in the past 5 years

I'm tired of faking my way through life I'm American yet my eyes is slanted and my daddy Jim Marshal stopped sending my UNICEF allowance . He said due to the new administration and my slow azzz car he cannot accept me as family till after Inauguration Day to make sure my eyes get straightened out or by a set off sun glasses

If you win a race (nat'l or div.) you don't race for the rest of the year. Liberal enough? we need new blood in the winner circle.

I'm afraid you would see an awful lot of bad red lights in the final. Heck I would go red and cross the centerline to just to make sure I didn't win! I wonder how many runner ups Dan Fletcher could rack up in one season. Lmao

how bout liberty clucthless transmissions in SS ? yeah I know nobody uses the clutch anymore but if my comp car isn't competitive in comp why not a 8500.00$ trans and several grand of mods to install it ?? sounds good to me I could never understand the aluminum replacement heads either, a set of [rare] cores cost as much as a set of new aluminum heads!! plus the 3000.00$ valve job ??? If pro stock heads were allowed in SS/S everyone would buy 2 sets , but now its hard to buy cores !!! WTF !!! How bout those 289 aluminum heads ?? I've scrapped a dozen good cores in the last couple years and nobody can find them ??? Aftermarket cranks are one of my favorites!! i can't find a BBC crank so I will buy a aftermarket knife edged lightened crank cause I can't afford a 300.00$ core !!! How bout those flat tappet lifters with the non metallic puck ?? what exactly did they come in ?? never came in anything from the factory is the answer!! Same with carburetors !! everyone needs a holley replacement or quick fuel or whatever , a quick look on eBay and i could find 90% of these carbs and for the same or less than a new one !!! Roller rockers in stock !! if your breaking rockers try a different cam profile instead of inventing new rules for[ stock] at least thats what it was meant to be !! Lastly I'm sick of hearing thats [progress] !!!! S/SS are not meant to progress to the point nothing is stock anymore!!! 50 years later what came on a combo still came on that combo !!! If you want to progress go race an unlimited class with no rules and stay the hell out of CLASS RACING!!

For the post above they already allow clutchless liberty trans in SS. Awhile back there was a big push for titanium valves in SS. Only people pushing stupid s..t like that are thes rich #&#&&# in SS. Just my opinion....
