I fail to see how you wieners think the 435 hp CJ should not be in stock eliminator.
The eng is available in a street mustang from Fords.
Ford motor CO and the UAW built 50 units.
So what if it has a Super Charger big deal. Some cars have two carbs shuold we outlaw cars with two carbs in stock because it"s not fare?

Could someone please tell me how a CJ is less of a stock eliminator car then David Barton’s Race hemi with a AUTO (that it never came with)?

NONE of these "CARS" should be in stock elim. They are limited production units, not street legal, and the DP cars are not even complete cars from MoPar.. They should be in S/S with a correct HP (main problem) rating and as far as the single 4 Hemi cars like Bartons it should be a 4-speed stick ONLY as that was how they came for NASCAR racing and WITHOUT a hood scoop. As far as Bob Shaws car goes it just proves what a joke the AHFS is when someone finds a bogus HP rated car and they are the only one in existance racing NHRA . They can protect the HP rating forever.
All these guys want is a FAIR shake in the HP ratings dept. and NHRA didnt give it to them and this forum is about the only place that they can piss and moan about the problem other than writing a zillion letters to NHRA that no one reads or couldnt care less about that get trash canned anyway.
