None of that stuff has been required in Stock Eliminator for at least 40 years,

What we're talking about is factory wringers..Those being cars not available to the general public for legal use on the highway.
No provisions for modern emission controls, no provisions for lock up torque converters, minimal or no modern crash protection devices ,high compression ratios that would never be certified for highway use....
In other words, Factory Experimental cars, not Stock Eliminator cars in the traditional sense.

Why this is so hard to understand for some, is beyond me.

I can understand about the not street legal crap. OK. But whats with lockup converter, crash protection, emission control? If you run your stocker with all this crap on it you are missing the boat. As far as compression ratios go I'm sure there are no laws regulating that. As far as the street legal deal goes I'm sure I could get one of those licenced as an assembled vehicle where I live.
