My reply to this thread is that we're only a few small steps,perpetrated by NHRA's
inability to control the runaway changes and lack of enforcement of rules,from having S/SS go away.The racers who kept pushing for changes and upgrades to equipment
and rules are hastening this process.
The addition of crate motors to the mix will only speed up the process.
I never raced Stock when Farmer was around,but I'd be willing to bet all this replacement
of parts bull$hit wouldn't fly if either he or someone like him was in charge of race operations.I've heard from lots of old timers that he was tough,but fair.
