Junior Stock vs IHRA Pure Stock

I don't think pure stock needs any rules loosened,they had classes fromA-Z @ one time and had classes for front wheel drives and trucks. I think the front wheel classes got knocked out because of complaints about the rental cars being ran.
Then I think it was cut back around N or O,then changed to 1lbs. weight breaks like it is now with sticks & auto's combined.
When I built my car it was street/strip car,but back then had limit on conv. 2500,dot tires,had to use correct rear 7.5 10 bolt in mine.
A later model car can still be good pure stocker and drove because of OD trans w/lock up converters,efi,hyd rollers are more streetable.
