I used to keep my membership up to date to get the National RAGster but I let slide probably 8 or 10 years ago so I haven't kept up with many of the rules changes such as this hood deal. Kind of funny when they allow the 1964 A/FX fiberglass hood on 1964 Comets today in S/S. The paper kept getting worse each year.

Thanks for the info. I figured there might be a slight difference due to design. It is surprising how much stuff is allowed on a STOCKER these days. I underdstand some of the changes, but many of the cars are so far from stock it is just wrong. I had a stocker briefly back in the 70's. I am still a big fan of the class and super stockers also, but shake my head at some of the cars that are running now. Pacific Raceways has 4 stock super stock combo races this year and I will be there for them all. I hope that the class will still be around for many more years. I have many friends that race in both stock and super stock and I applaud there efforts, in spite of what NHRA keeps throwing at them.
