And for the most part, that was implied, if not outright stated, in the rule book.

This is not the 1960's, 70's, 80's or 90's and gas is no longer available for 29 cents a gallon. Do you consider 1998 as a recent rules revision? Times change, rules change, and nothing stays the same as it was. Like it or not this is 2010.

I think I asked this before, but what was the rule change that allowed these cars to be mixed in with the traditional stock eliminator cars?

The first page of the rule book under rules for Stock Eliminator that states"

OEM may apply for inclusion of any special production runs into the official NHRA Stock Car Classification Guide. Special runs must include a run of 50 units of an already accepted body style, need not be showroom available. Applications evaluated on an individual basis. Acceptance will not imply precedent.

That is not a change. The NHRA is allowing these cars to compete in stock in some convoluted reasoning under the current rules.

Didn't I read that you have a 1998 LT1 car?

So, guess which rule allowed your combination to be allowed! (I have two LT1 1998's)

You are right it is 2010 and this organization is still conducting business as if it were the 70's.

So there's no room for a newbie unless he has a bottomless wallet or special connections forn F/X, errrrr I mean factory built racecar?

It must be a real slap in the face to CJ and DP owners. That there state of art cars with all the currant technology cant make as much HP as a old 427 chev from the 60s. Imagine the embarrassment of buying a drag race specific factory car from ford or Chrysler and its advertise HP is less than the window sticker on the show room model. I wonder what the salesperson says to close that deal?
