Just an example about how "not stock" NHRA or IHRA stock eliminator really is anyway. After 1985 or so calling anything stock is a moot point. I say let the rest of crates in, the CJ's and Challengers really are anyway.

I'm like Michael, I disagree. It will not likely help the car count at all, it just makes for more rules and more tech, and NHRA is not interested in that. Besides, the fact that Stock isn't really stock any more is not a good reason to make it even less stock.
