It's kinda like that now but at least there are many more combos and more places to hide.
Thank you Billy you beat me to the explanation for Dan. Spec motor is the perfect example of racing socialism!

Not about equal...
It is about developing products for S and SS.
Those are capital systems...

You comment is off the mark.
You could say the same thing about Stockers using Roller Lifters making things equal..!

This was going to happen sooner or later.
Stock morphed from using all stock factory parts to custom built everything.
So much that custom blocks have to be made to keep things Equal!

NHRA now allows Solid Lifters...come on!
What is next?

Staying Pure Stock or Crate Motor are looking better everyday.

What do you call it today.. Junior Super Stock with 8000 rpm shifts
Or
Junior Modified Production Super Stock with 12000 rpm shifts
More safety gear and Roll bars and stuff pro level cars have?

Sooner or later NHRA is going to give these classes hair cuts.
Too much, too fast and more Insurance to cover risk!

Fahey, you obviously like nothing about NHRA Stock Eliminator. So how about you stop trying to change it, shut your pie hole, and go race somewhere else?

They have it listed in the Stock Car Classification guide at the bottom of the page. Maybe the aftermarket head post will disappear like the cam journal and lifter post did....lol
