Stock eliminator was created in 1955, and has been supported by performance oriented racers and auto manufacturers ever since. I don't know how long bracket racing has existed, but the Christmas tree wasn't introduced until 1963.
The fact that so many racers of means and experience along with the OEM'S continue to invest so heavily in Stock eliminator is an indication of viability, not impending death. Stock & SS will continue to evolve as they always have.
It's a Class racing thing that outsiders don't understand, even if their friends do.
