Some will say that too much influence by racers is why Stock has turned into what it is today.

9" tires, camshaft specs, valve springs, roller rockers, head work, 3 speed transmissions, replacement heads, etc etc etc. Ya can't blame NHRA for all these things especially if you claim nhra was run by racers, because all these things are part of 30 years of "evolution "

Duane, all but the 9" tires came after the racers "ceded" control to the "executives" in Glendora. Just because a few racers asked for them doesn't mean all the racers wanted or would have voted for them. And, in fact, many of the tech people would have said "no" had Glendora not over ruled them. In fact, most of the cheating caught by tech people and thrown out was later accepted by those executives in the form of "new rules".

And you don't think that a lot of this came from aftermarket manufacturer's "buddy deals" and NHRA's lack of any substantial tech? Oh, let's not forget the "threat" of lawsuits.
