I can think of as many problems with this as there are advantages.
For the advocates of these, what do you hope to accomplish, and what do you do about the inherent problems they create? ...and believe me there are many when you study the details.

What these folks that advocate the above changes are hoping to do is return the class back to being a performance based class. Another step in that direction would be qualified fields at National Events. Making Stock a more performance based class would spread the sheer joy of demonstrating performance that we love at Indy, to all National events. Adding these elements would also address problems associated with the AFHS relatively quickly, with so many more racers having to show what they got more frequently.
It would be interesting to see a poll among active stock/SS racers on if these ideas have broad support. There are certainly downsides to consider.
