Stock had to morph for many reasons.
Such as the plethora of high performance Vehicles from other non US companies and not being included into Stock.
The new generation of kids like the Rice Burners because that is what they can afford.
The pitiful US choices against the foreign markets.
The 91-96 B-body community is growing because useful platforms are available.
When GM Ford and Chrysler reformed after the recession.
They began producing some cool cars...
Including race ready Factory race cars for $100000 !
Crate Motors is natural extension of Stock.
Spirit of Stock taking approved combinations and stuffing into useful platforms.
Combinations that run in the same ET range as current Stock before the COPO and Factory built racers.
Older and nostalgic combinations are being considered with modern engines.
Where their older power plants with vintage parts are becoming expensive.
Upgrading from a 273 4v to and 360 4v is a bolt in procedure.
Think Pure Stock would benefit allowing us to upgrade to a more powerful version.
Already Stock has morphed from Stock with limited Cam specs to junior Super Stock.
In 70s and 80s the Stockers were never quick enough to qualify in a SS field, but they are now!
At any rate Crate Motors cars are a good addition to Stock.

You sound like someone who built a racecar and wants to rewrite the rules and the NHRA, which you don't race, to suit your own agenda....
If you think that the NHRA needs saving, build a legal NHRA car and enter some events.....
There are also people who buy a house next to an airport because it is cheaper...
After they buy they put all of their efforts into closing the airport that was there first...
Just sayin'
