Having had a 70 1/2 Camaro RS/SS, I think the these(Stock/SS) cars should race with the correct parts on them.
Yes, this is one of my pet peeves and also, apparently I am old.....

If we go down this road, Stock is going to end up looking like Super Stock. Oh wait, it already does. Never mind...

IMHO Another two months of these sort of meaningless threads - then back to racing and discussing performance advantages. Sorry - I just think it is funny when we get into the winter doldrums. Ron

At first glance,this thread appeared to be a by product of end-of-season malaise and boredom, but it does bring up some interesting points.What if you had a car with some small exterior errors,such as a '72 Chevelle with '71 parking light lenses and bezels,otherwise it's completely legit,you went 1500 miles to a national event only to have a tech official not pass it over that? That could be an aggravating circumstance at best. As long as the car is correct as far as the generic appearance and the year,make,and model claimed,the combo is legit,and the weight is correct as it passes over the scales, there should be no problem. All efforts to make it legitimately correct should be made.If it's a '69 Nova,it should look like one. On another current thread, the discussion came up as to openly discussing illegal weight reduction of body parts,illegal modification of the body itself,etc,and whether openly advertising this kind of thing is wise. Tech officials read these discussions,they basically know who is legit or not, and they probably don't appreciate confronting every incident where somebody deliberately is trying to fudge on the rules.They already allow us some pretty good breaks,after all, you could have been one of those folks with a 69 Camaro 255/285 horse car with the SS hood a few years ago. So many of those cars were around with the SS hood for so long that many were probably bought and sold like that with no intent to cheat anybody or anything. It would be wise, however not to advertise the ways people push the rules.No sense waving a red flag in front of a bull.

Didn't someone get sent home from Indy this year for a incorrect grille? I thought I read or heard that somewhere.

Thanks for the complement,Ron.Why were you surprised?You're right. After the end of the season,the level of communication on these threads does seem to wander from its usual level. When we get bored, we do tend to sound like it.

The rules of NHRA stock eliminator have changed constantly - some have not noticed - various heads, manifolds, valve spring, transmissions, etc and other performance oriented things do not upset them as much as an in correct tail light. Some things (people) never change. Next year it will be new - old things. Oh well it is winter and I am bored - so you purest fire away - it gives me an occasional minute of joy. This is drag racing not world peace. Ron
