Just to elaborate on what FINESPLINE said, and I'm not saying that I agree with the ongoing "allowances" being made across the board either. But for what it's worth, this has been happening for a long, long time - from the original Pro Stock evolving from Super Stock to todays Stockers being allowed many things that were not allowed on Super Stockers in the '70's. Even today's Super Stockers are much more sophisticated that the early Pro Stockers, not to mention faster. i.e.: SS/AH. I guess NHRA did make a good decision in the the right direction in the '70's when Stockers reverted back to more "stock" parts. But we see how long that lasted. I don't know what can be done. Just pointing out that history keeps repeating itself.

I am guessing, however, that a big reason NHRA continues these changes is to keep the aftermarket industry busy and involved in drag racing.
