They would probably keep 'factory stock' - if you want to call it that.
Only one man's opinion.

NHRA is already on the bracket racing course, Stock is no longer "Stock" as it used to be. If you were missing your auto choke link on your carb you were out, now any carb that meets the measurements. The cars now are nothing but bracket cars (fuel cells, racing seats, removable steering wheels) made to look like the way that they came from the factory with the somewhat correct engine. Times are changing and so are the cars, NHRA is looking to increase their bottom line. No looking at cars, short cut in tech and tear downs are basically non existent, cut manpower.
