What Stock rules would you change?

After the racer is done racing, he goes back to the Tech trailer and gets HIS box back. Check your serial #.

If I spend $700 on an ignition, what happens after NHRA's box fails in my car at that race? Geez, the NHRA box could cost a racer a final round win, not to mention time lost chasing the problem. Sounds like socialism.

The seat belt thing has always been ridiculous. You can bet the belt makers will be against extending their life. They must love NHRA!
I have a street car that's quick enough for a roll bar, and thusly, belts. I don't mind the roll bar, but I don't even take it to the track every two years! How many cars never get to the track, and how many of them, as a result, aren't racing every weekend?

What happens after NHRA fails to find a box that's been tampered with and that box is in the car that beats you in the final round?!?
Maybe NHRA should stop doing tech altogether and just start handing out participation trophies.

What do we do? Go back to points?
