Default Re: What's wrong with Stock?

Many interesting older cars from the days of gross HP ratings aren't competitive and NHRA has never addressed lowering their ratings to get more "diversity" in Stock. Now we have the factory ratings going very far the other way, making everything that is old relatively uncompetitive. To make it even worse, turbo and supercharged cars don't lose power with elevation anywhere near what naturally aspirated engines do, so they are heavily favored at high altitude tracks.
