What's up with this, and since when did mid-60 model Camaroes come with wheelie bars...I just see so much in stock that defies the principals off the class.
Where on earth did you get the impression that NHRA requires stock gear ratios? I am not aware of that ever being the case. Now, I`m not a MoPar guy, but as I recall, to get bucket seats in a 66 Dodge Coronet, you needed to have a 500 model, the base & 440 models all had bench seats as I recall. Maybe you best buy a current NHRA rule book, and get yourself "up to speed" on what is & isn`t allowed in Stock Eliminator.
