Some seem to think placing these cars into stock eliminator is the same as the muscle cars invading stock in the 60's. This is far from what took place.
In the 60's everyone was trying to go as fast as possible. The factories were trying to out run each other and that sold cars...cars that anyone could buy off the showroom floor. There wasn't an index that was being protected because you ran off of national records. The new cars didn't fit into existing classes so NHRA created new classes. The new cars were NOT placed in classes where older cars had previously raced. It seems that some common sense was used in creating those classes, as it has lasted until today.
NHRA has done many things, under the pretense of leveling the playing field. I guess they forgot about a level playing field when they received their stimulus package from Ford. These cars should be in super stock or in a class for S/C vehicles. Talk about bringing a knife to a gunfight........and the engines haven't been treated to the 'stock rules' yet.
