That would eliminate most of the upper class cars now running. Just look at the 1967 Ford Shelby and the rest of the paper cars. Look at all of the aftermarket parts being allowed today from trans to engine components. By your statement stock should be returned to pre 1985 rules. Calling it "Stock" today is like calling T/AD an alcohol class when its full of nitro burning cars. I try to stay out of this but you guys just want it both ways. Let us have this and that but no we dont want those. It a very short while you all will be S/S anyway. You already have your "Crate" cars with the new Fords and DP's using engines that were never avaliable from a dealer on the showroom floor. You guys just make me laugh. But then stock is a JOKE anyway.
