I fail to see how you wieners think the 435 hp CJ should not be in stock eliminator.
The eng is available in a street mustang from Fords.
Ford motor CO and the UAW built 50 units.
So what if it has a Super Charger big deal. Some cars have two carbs shuold we outlaw cars with two carbs in stock because it"s not fare?

Could someone please tell me how a CJ is less of a stock eliminator car then David Barton’s Race hemi with a AUTO (that it never came with)?
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Bob Shaw, an individual, went to the guide and found an old combination that was already there, and no one was racing, then took advantage of that.

Where as Ford and Chrysler, two mega dollar factories, went out and created purpose built race cars that were never intended to be street driven, and then went to NHRA and had them inserted into the guide with bogus HP ratings attached.

Nice try at comparing apples and oranges though. Good job with the name calling, too. Got anything else?
