Can't disagree with you, it would have been 100% better to simply state Stock and Super Stock are purists classes and as such blinders and blockers will no longer be allowed. kinda like when they disallowed two step switch on the steering wheel for stock.....

The unfortunate side effect of this is the loss of some rather intriguing uses of sheet metal, carbon fiber and other materials for the blockers,with some very impressive craftmanship.
