Default Re: Why can stock be really stock?

Stock got messed up when Schubeck lifters where allowed and it was because of people crying that they lifters going bad on camshafts that shouldn't be running the valve spring pressures that they were applying. The valve spring rules should have been kept to what ever pressure you could get away with with the use of a STOCK lifter that you can buy at the local parts store. I asked a tech person one time out at Indy, "if they don't allow any exotic materials in Pro Stock, why is it allowed in Stock?" He replyed to me that he didn't know what I was talking about, so I told him about Schubeck lifters, that they are a very exotic materialed product and that they are not commonly available in any parts store. He just schrugged with no answer. I look at stock eliminator cars now as expense ET with a stock appearance. I personally keep my car in appearance as it did in the 70's, yes, I now have the same lifters and trans ( H patern with original shifter) as everyone else, because you can't run the number now with out going overboard. If NHRA gave back the .3 on the index, I could use at least the stock lifters again. Stock in now a modified production class in stock looking bodies.
