Those who want to tout the "good ole glory days" should remember that the same fears and reality chased Stock racers away from the big races back then - the opportunists in the low classes. The cars people have in mind now that will have the advantage are the low class cars, just like back then. Remember the Y/SA Chevelle 6 cyl wagon of Eugene Chaisson and Bob Shaw's Corvair at the 1976 Sportsnationals to know that things have not changed much.

SO, if we have a true "performance based" eliminator, how many people would do the smart, practical thing and build a 13-sec competitor, or stay with their 10-sec beauty queen and just gripe?
