Wally Parks editorial from Dec 1955

Whats STOCK about stock eliminator any more any way? with all the valve train rules, light weight parts. 2 steps, metric tranys in cars that they did not come with. The hundreds of pounds of weight shoved behind the rear tires. Some one please answer the question! this is not what the class was made for. you can tell me a 4000 lb car with a 283 that has a 1.70 60ft should pull the tires 2 foot in the air. Not that any one cares what i think, nor would i expect you to. no one cares about the little guy trying to get into stock, or the guys that have suported the sport for the last 40 years that dont have the health and or the money to throw at the cars like every one else. you just want the indexs lowered to run them out! great idea! I think every one needs to take a step back and remember what stock eliminator was supose to be, Now its just super stock on a 9 inch tire. Well i said what i had to.
