I agree, similar to the roll bar rule. It appears there's going to be a lot of Stockers with tranny blankets in 2018.

At the US Nats in 2017 cars down as far as H/SA ran 10.99 or better. Looks like they will need a trans shield, blanket, or SFI trans case for 2018. At least the Factory Stock cars come with a SFI aftermarket trans case.
