But, I digress.
A 59 year disparity between automobiles racing one another is quickly entering the absurd. How in the Hell could anyone argue against adding Model T's, Hudson Hornets and perhaps even a Tucker? (They made 51, so....why not?)
I guarantee you, some where there is a reliable source for the cam specs on a Franklin engine, as well as the deck height and piston weight. So….why isn’t a Tucker allowed in stock and super stock?
Drag racing desperately needs something new. I know I have no idea what it is, but try telling some 25 year old not just WHAT a WCFB is, but WHY that ancient thing costs what it does today.
Fifty nine freak’n years. It’s almost comical the pretzel we’ve twisted ourselves into for no other reason than holding on to youthful memories.

The reason model T's Hudsons, ETC. aren't allowed is
they are not in the nhra classification guide. It starts
at 1955 and does not have every possible combo for
every year. I would miss 55 chevy's if they were omitted.
Just love stock and super stock and hope it does continue
to allow diverse combo's that allow creativity and personality !
Is a 55 chevy and a copo racing cool or absurd ??
I think it is pretty cool...
As far as nhra needing something new it seems
they "big 3 are providing it.
And please don't speculate about someone else's
"youthful memories"
