CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - How the factory "Package" cars may save Stock

oh and one more thing Drooze, the car I drive is 9 years older than I am. Yes its dad's but if i had my choice right now, I'd have a 66 Chevy II. There are plenty of late model stockers, and i have no problem with EFI cars, but these package cars are BS.

With the economy the way it is, neither dad or I can spend the money to build a new car. Its just not in the cards right now. So we are probably going to build a small block. Oh well, whatever we have to do to keep racing. Dad's car has been a big block stocker/superstocker since 1970, and NHRA and the factories made it obsolete with a stroke of a pen. I hate what NHRA and those in charge have done to stock eliminator, i have no respect for those responsible for the decision. I also have no respect for anyone who takes any pride in beating a REAL stocker with one of these cars.

I AM one of the younger guys (32), and if this is the future of Stock and Superstock, I may just go do something else.
