What Stock rules would you change?

Alan I agree.

How do we make a rule that you have to have INTEGRITY to race !
Integrity seems to be in short supply in the in all walks of life today.

I can see bracket racing replacing stock and S/S class racing in the future in NHRA national events. I' m not sure how long it will be before it becomes the norm but its coming like in IHRA. I will hate to see it happen.

People have been saying that same thing since the 70s.
If you would like to see something more "specialized" than S/SS Racing, check out what it takes to competitively go bracket racing today!

If that happened then the bracket class/cars would become the new NHRA sportsman racers IF they decided to keep racing. I hope it never happens but there is always that chance. A lot of guys said that would NEVER happen with the IHRA. And look what happened to Modified elim. Yeah, we ended up with S/C and S/G plus S/ST at some National event races.

Yes I did. Now don't laugh I raced a 1953 Ford Flat Head in N/S back in the stone age (1964). .Gee I missed out on the $300 dollar entry fees and the $100 car number crap ! I raced in SS/IA at the Sports Nationals. That was in the early 1980's. Today I have a 1934 Chevy 3 window steel bodied street rod now with all the good stuff. A/C, Power Windows, Leather interior, coil over suspension, Rack and pinion steering, and a ZZ4 crate engine, 700-R4 trams and a 9 inch Ford rear. Its less work and less $$$$ to go to the car shows so do I miss drag racing???? Yes but not all the BS and expense that you have to deal with today.

So what relevance does your opinion have here? Sounds like you should stick to car shows and stuff like that.
