Stock Elim should follow bracket rules, and vice versa.
Roll bar at 11.49 ET.
Anything less is an insult to Stocker racers.

I use to be amazed at the difference between my super-gas car requirements and a friend of mine who had a SS/DA car. I had to have the full suit, gloves neck collar etc. and he got by with a thin jacket and a motorcycle helmet. This was some years ago, I haven't checked to see if S, SS have been brought up to same requirements as the .90 classes.

I think the rule needs to be by speed and not ET. That will bring a buch in line.

I don't think a V/S car should have the same rules as a AA/SA car..however I think there needs to be a standard regarding speeds,as in the case of a 180mph S/G car.

In Super Street there are two different sets of rules !
Depends if you run under 135 MPH or OVER 135 MPH !
I guess so the guys that need a 600 inch motor to go 10.90 will be safer.... :-)
