Yes

So it's buy a "new" car or quit then. That seems to be the message from NHRA as well. Nice

No - NHRA needs a nostalgia stock eliminator - then the new cars can race themselves.

No, NHRA needs to put factory experimental cars that were never built to drive on the street in their own class. Factory Experimental.

Stock was NEVER about cars that were never built to be legal to drive on the streets. That's why the Super Stock Hemi cars, and several other factory race cars, were not legal for Stock Eliminator. Even the most radical L-88 and ZL-1 cars had all street legal equipment, a VIN, and could be registered and insured with a regular title as they rolled off the show room floor. None of the new factory race cars can claim that, not one of them.

You want Stock Eliminator to fit your car, and the rest of the racers to find a new class.

Agree with this completely.

The NHRA is not being consistant with what they have done in the past regarding the new factory race cars.

Like or not, that's the message. NHRA has been saying that in one way or another for years. I remember when the GT classes were formed hearing an NHRA official telling Jimmy Bridges "There comes a time to put a race horse out to pasture." The writing was on the wall then. (Early 1990's). Nothing has changed, it's just become more obvious.

Tracy you misunderstood me. My car is only a high10 second Saturday night bracket car. I think everybody should be allowed to race when I said the old guys are too stubborn I meant that most of them don't want to change the rules and run no heads up in eliminations.

and by the way I would gladly kill trees for hire if I could. I can barely afford to run my own car. Gene Schmaltz jr
