Forget about the HP in the 60s the cars ran eachother in SS or FX not Stock Elim.

Didn't Ben Wenzel win stock at the 67 Nationals with a 290 hp z-28 and Bobby Warren win the World Championship with a 255 hp 350 in a 69 Nova about 1970? I remember several 427 Galaxies and 427 Impalas running in stock back in the days. Even an occasional 427 Powered Station Wagon were all running in STOCK!

Yea but you MISSED the point, the factory cars of the early 60s that were being mentioned at 425 hp was bogus but they did not run Stock, the weight breaks did not change till 64 and the lite weight cars still could NOT run Stock.

Just pointing out that the OEM's are doing the same thing that they have always done. You can't blame the racers for running them. It is the NHRA that needs to decide what to do with them.

There lies the $14,000,000.00 question!
