The other issue I have problem with is steering, I think rack and pinion should be allowed in all classes, to replace antique steering on most cars beside newer ones.

Ho Boy, here we go again!
And extending the cage is ONLY a safety issue. There's NO performance benefit at all to stiffening up the chassis or getting that heavy-*** old steering out of the front and replacing it with lite stuff.
Here's a novel idea, If you personally don't feel safe in your 8 second Stocker, then get a 12 second Stocker!
