It was not just split into two classes. Some classes were eliminated, Cotton Perry's car was in one of them, and he couldn't just move to the next class or two up. Putting Modified cars that ran off their indexes into Super Stock with slower and more consistent automatic cars running off of dial ins made them uncompetitive. It also diluted the traditional Super Stock class, they just arbitrarily "stuck" some cars in Super Stock, none of them actually fit, nor were they in keeping with the spirit of the class. It was a truly stupid and short sighted decision.
