Im sure that with enough letters and phone calls to Mike Baker he would eliminate the "1979 and OLDER" engine requirement AND the 1980 and newer body styles in the rule book for GT stock. I put that in place many years ago and I think its time to be updated. Probibly would NOT work very well to put them in stock with the regular stockers because of the bogus HP factors they have. GT stock dosent have very many cars running in it anyway.These combos didnt even exist when I was writing the rules for stock. many years ago. He is very in tune to what the racers want and really a good guy. Only thing I see is the cars would be an IHRA ONLY combos like the crate motored cars and the existing GT stockers but that is a good thing for IHRA. Better car counts are always a good thing. Let the NHRA "die hards" keep what they have and go for it. They dont race IHRA anyway. Improved car counts would ensure that "Stock" type combos would still have a place to race in IHRA for years to come and it might surprise some of you how popular it might be. If enough want to try to get it pushed thru I will try to call him and see how it "flys" with him.
