Face reality guys.......stock and Super Stock just isnt what it used to be.

You got my point Ed.....well said. Unfortunately, I do run GT against these cars and have felt the pain of them running my combo!!!

Terry, exactly what in modern life is, as you say, "what it used to be?" Do you still enjoy B&W TV with no cable, no Internet, etc?

Like life, EVERY racing class evolves and most don't have a problem with that. I'd rather have a Stocker with aftermarket brakes, a fuel cell and a stick transmission that doesn't break every five runs.

I agree, I went to the 1963,1968 and 1971 Winternationals. I like it much better now than then. You do not have to win class to get in to the eliminator.

Yes, I agree on the brakes, fuel cell, and upgraded trans BUT have you really taken a close look at some of the FWD conversions? They are more like slow Pro stockers with the driver locations, engine set backs, etc. Some builders really push the issue and the NHRA tech people just let it slide. The B&W TV and cable has no relationship with what we are talking about. It dosent really matter I guess as long as they are kept seperate for class from the traditional S/S cars and the index reflects that style of car.

IN THE BARN......

This is not a complete list as we slept in this AM...

Larry Rush SS/DA
