couple of questions concerning stock eliminator rules

[Alan Roehrich]

Actually, yes, conversion from one type of steering (ie, from a steering box to rack and pinion) is covered (you cannot, in Stock Eliminator).

Further, what you need, besides the rule book, is an interpretation, in writing, from NHRA in Glendora, and you should keep it with the car if it is even remotely questionable. You should also go ahead and share it with the tech director in your division.
