As far as I'm concern building a stocker(I'm presently doing) is more like building a super stocker. Maybe NHRA should introduce Pure Stock back to allow some new blood back in our sport. Motor, transmission,suspension and everything else are putting a drag on the build. I love the ingenuity that stock racer bring with their many types of combo's(one of the reasons I enjoy Indy so much) from PT Cruisers to Cadillacs all have found a place to race in Stock eliminator and I hope that it never stops but we have to stop the bleeding and return to our roots.

IHRA already has this but IHRA isnt all over the country for everyone. The so called pure stock class' IHRA has is very similar to the old Jr. stock. When stock was really stock as in 1972 in NHRA it was a joke. Guys still cheated like crazy and tear down was a major pain in the butt. Thats the reason the way stock is what it is today. The tech guys who really know/knew this stuff are long gone except for maybe good people like Travis,Dave Ley and Westly. Its labor intensive to have tear downs like we used to have back befor 1985 or so before the cam and valve spring rules changed. They might as well combine stock and S/S these days as todays stockers are more radical than my old SS/IA Camaro was in 1977/78.
