This is actually a good post.I was thinking the same thing.
Stock Eliminator has got so far away from it roots,that it really doesn't matter anymore.
What I would like to see is the elimination of the 170 pounds for the driver in the minimum weight.
Example: My horsepower rating is 350.G weight break is 350x11=3850 pounds.Just weigh 3850 and forget about another 170 pounds for driver.How many people weigh 170 pounds anymore and who cares anymore?
When class racing started,it was advantageous to build certain cars like convertibles because they "FIT" certain classes.
But now,you can go up one or down one.If someone wanted to go up two or down two,I don't see what difference it would make at all.
