The GM guys always "cry" when they don't have the upper hand; perfect case in point: Pro Stock 1970-71. Nobody cried (read Mopar) to the extent the GM boys did during Mopar's dominance (read: Ronnie Sox--only
one racer!) heyday. When the Grump cleaned up in 1972 and to a lesser extent in 1973 then the Fords of Bob Glidden and Gapp & Roush started dominating, we didn't get anywhere near the anti-Chrysler-type whining by both racers and the press when other makes where dominating thanks to the less lbs./cu.in weight (and shorter wheelbase) advantage.
Back to Stock Eliminator: bad move on the NHRA's part in making this rules change.
