Re: NHRA Positive?
My first effort at a serious class car was a stocker in the early seventies. Before the car could be completed, NHRA did away with the class (as it was) and basically offered a choice of running either pure stock or super stock. I opted for the latter and continued tolerating rule changes after that. (I still have a perfectly good 69 Nova with mini tubs which cannot be used as a stocker). Boy, do I wish I would have never cut on that car!
Thirty some odd years later, I began looking into building another car for stock eliminator (decided it would be more cost effective than trying to un-modify the old car) and actually purchased a car for that purpose. Well, with the current state of affairs, which don't need to be repeated here, and having been awarded horsepower before even getting started, I am very reluctant to continue. It seems some things really do never change. Only the circumstances.
