But, you never saw a '68 Hemi Barracuda/Dart or a Thunderbolt in Stock Eliminator, did you?

No... NHRA put them in Super Stock, where they belonged, and where these new cars belong.

If these new entries had been classified into Super Stock, where they belong, nobody would be complaining.

Supercharged cars that can't even be licensed don't belong in Stock Eliminator. That flys in the face of fifty+ years of tradition.


Don't agree? That's your right, but show me a precedent.

I want disagree with you on that one sir, I have never seen where either car was in Stock Eliminator but that but doesn't change the fact that these cars haven't shown that have an overwhelming advantage in the class. Didn't a Q/SA car win today at the Gators? there were several fast AA/SA thru C/SA cars there and they didn't win so what is the issue?
