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)?

Wrong is wrong.
WRONG: If Shaw goes -1.75 under, it's underrated and needs refactored.
WRONG: The DP and CJ cars are not only underrated, but also not street legal cars that have no business in Stock. I think they'd be fine in Super Stock, just like the limited production Hemis. My crate motor car is more of a Stocker than a DP or CJ car. Are they awesome cars? Oh, absolutely! I love both of them -- just not in Stock, and not at the purposefully low HP factors.
WRONG: The fuel injected LS-1/LT-1's were underrated when they came out, as were the Mopar trucks, paper cars, ad infinitum.
WRONG: cars with transmissions they didn't come with, Corvette rear suspensions, 292 truck carbs, camshaft specs on some 4cyl Mopars, and yes, even hoodscoops on Crate Motor Dusters.
So yeah, I got a problem with it. This is kinda like the political parties each pointing fingers at the other saying, "But they're wrong TOO!" What the h*ll good is that? Wrong is wrong, period, and it's ALL a bunch of BS, and everybody knows it. It's just that now, the horse has been let out of the barn for so long that nobody cares to try to fix it, and now its everybody looking out for their own agenda instead of the big picture and what's right.
And oh, BTW, I would have no problem if IHRA said that crate motor cars don't belong in Stock, and put them in Super Stock.
