I was dissapointed when I first started WERA vintage with a motorcycle, but oh well, it kept the playing field level for the antiques.

The present, and the future is FI period.....a carb will never see the light of day on a mass produced street car again. That for lack of you having it or not is a stock car now, so is electronic controlled shifts.

I (and Im NOT saying you are saying this and sort of agree in principal with you) I think that an electonic fuel injected car with electronic controlled transmission represents a STOCK car now a days, the rest are quite honestly antiques, and growing more an more so with every passing year no matter how beloved they are, I saw the same thing happen in motorcycles, and there came a point where 2 strokes got nixed from a lot of classes, that was sad, so I got into "Vintage" racing where my iron was still competitive, can I run a new GSXR ? Hell no , even with the power the chassis isnt there on the old iron, it just is whats representitive of stock NOW......

My worthless 1 1/2 cents....

Maybe NHRA and IHRA should go back to pre electronic FI days like NASCAR rules. NOTHING newer allowed unless it has a carb, and no computer like the early SS/GT cars....lol. Now this should get you fired up.
