Rules would be tire size, no body mods(stock appearing) and corporate drivetrain. Any NA induction system, no throttle stops or transbrakes. In other words, since we have highly restrictive rules for our current 'bracket' racing, I see rules being loosened, cost might come down and ease of build would go up,indexes gone, national records gone, just build something that is stock appearing (easier for newbies) and bracket racing is the result. Same could happen to Super Stock, it might even be combined. I think it is a shame it would go this way, but just my opinion.
Mike, I was just getting ready to make a similar point.
I know Evan's heart is in the right place, but further diluting Stock with crate motors, LS 1 conversions, etc., is just sending it further down the road to Pro bracket.
Might as well just get it over with.
Any American car body, stock hood , glass windows, and no tires sticking out.
Call it Stock,if you want to, then just dial 'em in.
