As one of many who are still left after fifty years starting with pure stock in my 68 Cobra Jet with a fully automatic transmission , and then a 1969 BBC Camaro again with a fully automatic transmission , along with other stock eliminator cars I have owned .As the years have gone by there been many changes to the rules ,some I agree with, some I do not ,I feel the big question is not how the car is shifted , today with all the technology the the newer car have compared to the cars of the sixty's , it's easy to understand why many want to up date the technology in the older race cars ,but hard to understand why many do not , the old statement one more change to the rules, and we will all be in super stock ,at this point in time I would hope that after the dozens of changes since pure stock we can move to a equal playing field that all benefit, and not worry about how the race car is shifted
