Could they not also allow certain quasi safety items in higher class cars to protect them the same way? For example, not on a P/SA car, but a D car or higher .
Exactly! If you compare some of the higher class stockers that are running mid to high 9's at 130mph and compare them to a SS/H,I or J car that would have a comparable ET and MPH. Without picking a combo and doing the numbers I would bet that the stocker would be heavier therefor have more of a load on the suspension system under braking conditions. Which again confuses the crap out of me trying to figure out the logic behind this.
