Would you be OK with this for all Stock classes?

As for the Factory Stock race at Indy, that needs to be it's own race and have nothing to do with stock eliminator

How about the Hemi deal?

Who would put up the extra money for all this new stuff?

What money? We got more in 1990 than we do now. The Hemi cars in Super Stock can get horsepower, plus they have one of the toughest indexes in SS.

Back when the LT-1 cars were kicking our butts, (cost me a div. championship) the only people that were complaining about them were the people in their class and were getting beat heads up. Nobody else cared.
I think the new cars are neat, but they aren't stock eliminator cars. Like everyone has stated, put them in there own class and problem solved. What still cracks me up today is the fact that the rule book states "no porting or polishing of cylinder heads". All the new cars have CNC'ed cylinder heads. The manufactures just simply ignored all the rules in stock eliminator and built them how they wanted. Where NHRA really messed up is not telling them if that's the engines you want to run that's fine, but they are going to be superstock cars.
While I am at it, I begged for years for a weight break or three speed trans for the 67 and 68 camaro's with a small block 295/350. Since the 69-70 camaro with 295/350 could run a three speed trans. Always fell on deaf ears, till Chrysler didn't put a three speed in the guide for the drag Pak and GM and Ford did. All the new drag Pak owners cried and got a three speed rule change. No one cared until it affected the new cars.

If everyone ran their car like this gentleman this thread wouldn't be necessary.

That's an interesting take on it. And it's hard to argue with. Other than some might take it as you saying new car owners arnt gentlemen.

Ed, Luke is a very nice guy. That car of his has a 5.7 Hemi that before Indy was rated at 305hp. The automatic is rated at 421. Keith Lynch could of gone 9.80 in A/SA with one. Luke won't be hurt a bit.

Well, I started with a simple yes/no and expected comments before I moved on to something else constructive. But I apparently started with Genesis 1:1 "Let there be Light" and we have now moved to complete explanation of the total meaning according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. I never knew we had so many Theology Students here. We flew right through the Old Testament and so far haven't begat anything. Sorry I have no Jewish, Arabian, Heathen, or Atheist sayings. I will work on that. But I have never been politically correct. Why don't somebody start a poll? Yes/No. No drama instead of Know Drama. I would but that is over my grade level.

11 pages of discussion about Indy and the fact remains that the number 1 qualifier was almost one second further under the index than ANYONE else in a 1986 Chevy Pick Up Truck.You have to love Stock Eliminator.
