That's just NHRA admitting that Terry was right when IHRA introduced the crate motor classes over twenty years ago. Our end of the sport is faced with a singular problem that has been addressed in multiple ways. Terry's solution was simpler, made allowances for the people who couldn't afford "enhanced" parts, and a ton cheaper!

No system, regardless of how carefully it is designed and how thoughtfully it is implemented, can long survive a period of either benign or pernicious neglect. There are sufficient numbers of individuals who are intent on gaining an advantage by any means available to render even the most comprehensive rule book irrelevant practically overnight. This is especially true of the Rules of Engagement in Stock Eliminator.

well said, as is un-comfortable or satisfying it may be.

Yes. And both Stock a Super Stock rules are under constant attack for advantage. Edelbrock pn 60947 heads that were accepted last year for the SBC and the current Jones Engineering heads for SS are angle plug heads. Even though NHRA rules specifically state that the spark plug angles cannot be changed and NO Chevrolet small block V8 EVER came off an assembly line with angle plug heads. Can you imagine a 327-275hp engine in Stock Eliminator with angle plug aluminum heads??? Write your division director, the national tech department, the NHRA national techincal vice-president, the NHRA CEO, your mother and any one else you can think of to object. Such actions and decisions will destroy the eliminators faster than you can imagine.
