Because NHRA TRIED "Pure Stock" in the early 70s. It didn't work then and it definitely won't work now. With all of the Tech people they employed back then, they didn't have enough to keep all of the entrants "Pure Stock". It wasn't uncommon to only have a couple of dozen cars in a field and to have the winner and ru DQd. It DID make SS and MP very popular though.
Apparently in the 21ST Century, Racers have "money managers" and "inheritances" and "401Ks" to pick up their racing expenses and they don't care what it costs them to participate.
If you don't want to spend your way in then find a place to hide and build a "Dime Rocket" but Pure Stock ain't happening.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program!
