Funny, every time someone "comes up with an idea to save Stock Eliminator" it involves radically changing the character of the entire class.

It's "crate motors and GT" this week. Next week it's "no more heads up". Something else, the week after.

NHRA is what is hurting Stock Eliminator, if anything is, and "reinventing the class" is not going to help that.

Oh, and I remember quoting someone $22K for a Stock Eliminator 396/375 about 3 years ago, from all new parts, for a guy who didn't have a quart of oil or a box of spark plugs to start with. I was told that was high, even for all new aftermarket parts, and a 1.1 second under guarantee. I guess a $30K-$40K 396/375 Stock Eliminator engine includes a lot of cheating, and runs 1.5 under.
