CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Back from Indy-what's happened to Stock Eliminator??

Can you go buy a new Drag Pack Challenger, or Cobra Jet Mustang, drive it to the local DMV, have it inspected, buy license plates, and drive it on the street, in every state in the union? Or even excluding California.

That's why they do not belong in Stock Eliminator. You could go buy a 68 428 Super Cobra Jet Mustang and legally drive it. Or a 440 Six Pack 'Cuda. Or a 396 or 427 Camaro, Chevelle, or Impala.

The entire basis of Stock Eliminator was that you could buy the exact same car at the dealership and drive it on the street legally. At least it was, for about 40 years.

The new factory race cars are not even close to street legal, even by the loosest standards.
