Re: Hooray!
Maybe stock is what it is because of the old farts pushing the envelope "getting away with things"?

Re: Hooray!
Nope....I raced back in the day before I became a tech inspector for NHRA With Greg X. in Div. 1 and Marty Barrett became a good friend. Jim Dale was the National Tech Director at that time then after realizing that NHRA was like working for the Gestopo I went with IHRA. Worked for them for 22 1/2 years. I have prepped cylinder heads since 1969. I saw and watched the changes along the way. Some pretty big names started cheating with acid porting in stock and Super stock and that I was able to see when I was in the tear down barns with a couple of good Super stock racer friends of mine. Since I worked for IHRA I could not stop what I saw in NHRA or have any kind of say in it. . It started to be more noticeable around 1985-86. I tried to get NHRA to stop it to no avail. Had a meeting with some pretty high ups with NHRA at a PRI show back in the day. It went no where. The NHRA allowed it to get to where it is today. Now you see what you have. Its only gotten worse. Enjoy spending the big bucks !

Re: Hooray!
I honestly don't think it has to be that expensive. I see S/SS cars for sale constantly that will run .7-.8 under for 15k-20k. Now someone is loosing money because they have more than that in them, but if anyone really wanted to race for cheap it's there to be had IMO.
