I guess I didn't grow up thinking that everyone gets a trophy and rules should be changed to accommodate an outcast.

not one stocker came off the showroom floor and ran low 11s high 10s etc. If you think you can slap a CM car together and be competitive, go for it. Mike gave a pretty good example of the differences between a CM and a "real" stocker. To ad to that you still have rules and regs to live by. It's not bracket 2 as you refer to. No 9" fords in any GM CM car. Now I do agree that the CM cars should have a engine combo that is close to what was avail in that body style. IE 350 in camaro etc. But for you NHRA elitists that turn your nose down at these cars stop and take a min to look at one and see what they are all about. Bash on
