Aftermarket Rack & Pinion

[BlueOval Ralph]

It takes more than a rack change. The Hemi's cam with a steering gear box. Danny tried to slip this through several years ago. Could open up a performance advantage in the oil pan area. Why would you want make all the Hemi cars change? As far a gain it takes a lot of work on those cars to get the front end geom correct.

Can someone tell me why having an after market rack and pinion steering unit on an older car is not permitted in the Super Stock division, especially in the Super Stock Hemi classes?

Is this a purist issue? I really can't see that it's a performance gain.

Without slamming the NHRA and all of this stuff, is there a reason why this is an issue?
