Stock Eliminator suspension

[hrs1326]

I reached out to NHRA and got this response??? Definitely more confused than ever.





" Are you asking if the strut rod can have spherical rod ends; if so the answer is no for Stock Eliminator, They are permitted in Super Stock."

Thank you for the correction!

As usual, no common sense!
This is a safety issue and it does not apply to Stock Eliminator?

Aw c mon NHRA get your act together. Nothing is ‘stock’ about stock anymore.

I wouldn't worry too much, just yet. NHRA might change the rule by the time you get your car done.

I thought the string here was about stock. I went back to the NHRA site and found this note in Superstock. In the stock category, there is no allowance for the strut rods with heim joints.
Maybe I missed it ?

See posting #13.

Ok thanks. I agree. There are some inconsistencies in the book for sure.
