~Yes, cars had to be street-legal to be in Stock. Non-street, factory race cars were ALWAYS S/S-only, until 2008. It should still be that way.
WOW sounds like the NHRA, AHRA Junior Stock arguments.

I agree on a some things.
Drag Racing needed new blood and from all the makers.
Think Toyota should bring one in too.
Create the FX Class again for Factory Built cars.
Even just for a marketing advantage this should be implemented.
Potential for a new type Pro Stock Class.
(which I think another racing body is doing)

They are so quick they are challenging everything performance wise in Super Stock AND somehow they are in STOCK ??

I really do not get having 8 second Stockers.
That will eventually hit 7 seconds in the future...in STOCK !!

When did Stock lose its meaning STOCK ??
