More on the new cars and crate motors.

I think it a very exciting time right now for Stock Eliminator with all of the fresh late model body cars showing up and Ford stepping up with crate engines. Truly fun to watch.

As a fan watching from the dreaming side of the fence, I do believe these new "50 build" machines should be heavily factored or get their own class to help keep the traditional and long time used combos competitive.

Strangely, NHRA never approved my 2001 Mustang Bullitt for Stock (of which Ford made over 5,000 units) but they continue to approve a car/engine combo that only 50 were made ??

They are here to stay like it or not. Until NHRA has a race and No one shows up then a stand will be made but racers have never been able to unite like that. Pro Stock guys did at Pheonix and that was the first time in years something like that has happened.
