NHRA allows everything else to go on (2 steps, lite alum parts in the trans, gear sets, enhanced heads and intakes, wheelie bars, custom short run cars from the manufacturers, etc.) so whats the big deal. Use one or not. Your choice as it makes no difference especially if the 2 $HRA's combine the sticks and automatics for class in the near future.

Half of the content of this website concerns the opposition of parts never meant to be used on stockers.You are one of the most vocal.Now all of a sudden it's ok to dumb down stock because "they allow this and that".You can't have it both ways.Well now f&%$ it I want a Holly 2 bbl and manifold because it was used on AMC 258s built for the Mexican market.And Clifford Eng. makes an alum. head I want that too.See where that will lead to?Then we'll just be SS cars and a lower class car will cost $30K to build to be competitive.
That will bring in a lot of new blood.
Just keep driving nails into the coffin.The funeral will be pretty soon.
