Turn back the clock

If you could turn back the clock on the Stock Eliminator Rule Book, what year would it be and why?

Dwight Southerland · 02-06-2017, 06:44 PM

1975

1975 no roll bars

Not sure of the year but lets keep it stock!! If your springs,lifters , rockers ,valves ,etc, can't handle your cam profile !! guess what!! get a cam that will work with the stock parts. If you wanna build a car with expensive collector parts stop whining about the 2000.00$ head and block cores !! Cause you know damn well you'd buy 5000.00$ billet heads if they were legal!! Stop getting bogus head specs and parts that didn't even come on your car .Stop whining to NHRA about the combo you picked and why you should be given whatever you want to stay competitive . Stop all this "progressing" You can't go back in time and change what came with the cars so why do it now? The only things that should have changed over time are related to safety!! Not what intake or carb or cam or head or whatever. Stock is Stock !! thats it !!! period!!!

I'm in the same thinking, whatever happened to stock. I try to keep my Camaro very close to the older rules. Street legal, licenced and insured.

Whatever year was the year prior to the unlimited valve spring pressure rule....

That was what changed Stock Eliminator forever and I don't mean for the better.....
