FORD, 5 NEW S/SS Engines

Before the advent of these purpose built race cars with their purpose built crate motors stock eliminator has always been cars that could be bought at a dealer, liscensed and driven home. I don't care if it was an L-88 Corvette it was street legal. These cars are no more stock eliminator cars than a 37 chevy super gas car. A stroke of the pen changed all that. What's basically been the same for more than 40 years get's changed without input from racers or much if any thought to what the long term consequences are. If you all think taking 3 tenths off the indexes will hurt car counts, wait till these crate motor cars are in every class from AA to J. NHRA let's them in with bogus factors with no regard to us, their customers , who have been doing this for 30 years or more.

I truly think this will have a long term detrimental effect on stock and super stock.
