What would you do with the current CJ and DP car situation?

I would be happy to race a stock Shelby just as soon as all the guys racing the old cars give up the parts that don't make their cars original production showroom available. These include Siamese bore replacement blocks, superceded cylinder heads, cams, intake manifolds, carburators, Lightweight transmissions , carbon fiber hoods in place of fiberglass, and rear axles in place of what came from the factory. Many of these items affect the original horsepower rating and don't make it fair for the people that have to race the oem parts because there were none available for their combinations. How many 1963 to 2010 Corvettes were built from the factory without the swing arm axles? None! Well guess what your car isn't a showroom available piece either. If you say that NHRA allows us to do that, well guess what, NHRA has approved the Drag Pak and Cobra Jets also.
