Default Re: When was the "Golden Age" of Stock Eliminator

Golden AGE?
Most class cars per class-60s thru 71. Worst rule running off records set downhill at night at Sea level.
Most money per class win Same
Most fun racing Same
Cheapest Class cars Same
Highest Tech and level field based on broad knowledge of tricks TODAY.- Worst COST < COST -Rule enforcement and changes.
-FACTORING WORST.
Widest variety of cars TODAY. Fairness due to factoring WORST TODAY
Best Class competition YEARS ago when high tech available was limited and rules were tight and cost very limited. and very limited combinations being built.
The only way to return is to 1)Limit available motors and cars ( Lb per HP or cu in spec) if need be.Enforce rules, restart less tech mods.
