What James said...it's not for everybody. I have twice as much in our stocker than in our best bracket car, complaining? No..having fun? Yes. Learning how to tune a Q jet among other things. ..but..if I see a car like mine show up legal with a 3K crate motor and a 650 Holley will mean I just wasted a bunch of money.

Funny, every time someone "comes up with an idea to save Stock Eliminator" it involves radically changing the character of the entire class.

It's "crate motors and GT" this week. Next week it's "no more heads up". Something else, the week after.

NHRA is what is hurting Stock Eliminator, if anything is, and "reinventing the class" is not going to help that.

Oh, and I remember quoting someone $22K for a Stock Eliminator 396/375 about 3 years ago, from all new parts, for a guy who didn't have a quart of oil or a box of spark plugs to start with. I was told that was high, even for all new aftermarket parts, and a 1.1 second under guarantee. I guess a $30K-$40K 396/375 Stock Eliminator engine includes a lot of cheating, and runs 1.5 under.

The future of stock is pretty bright in D1. Also in D3 @ Bowling Green I have been there when we had a bump a few years back. 180 cars show up @ Indy for 128 spots, I don't see a problem with the future of the class. NHRA knows where their bread is buttered.

You're right, Rod. Everyone's trying to fix something that isn't broken.
