You are right on, on this Very Little impact on the real S-SS Eliminator racers.

Super Stock would much easier on ADRL to tech. I'm sure they pump the winning cars but can anyone see them doing a complete Stock teardown? I hear it takes new specialty tools to check the overhead cams on the Mustangs.

With S/S the cars would be faster for the show and current new model stockers have most items legal for S/S anyway.

This cracked me up:

“I think the new factory hot rods are the Cobra Jets and equivalent.” Kershaw told CompetitionPlus.com earlier this month. “The fans love them for the same reason they loved the Pro Stockers when Bob Glidden was so successful for us, they look like real cars and their performance is awe inspiring with factory hardware. The fan can relate to a car that has the same body and engine parts as the car they see at the Ford dealer. Stock Eliminator is poised to be the new battleground."

Well, yeah Mr. Kershaw. Except for one thing. Ford won't even put a street legal production car in the stock car classification guide.

Check for Nitrous? What state was Darrell Alderman from? Larry, where do you live? Ha!

My point gentlemen was that this opportunity may generate some interest in SS/STK in people other than the participants of this forum.
The ADRL may if it proves popular provide a more racer friendly racing environment with relevant purses.
The NHRA doesn't seem too interested.
