Time For A Transmission Rule Change?

There's a perfectly good example why the Cobra Jets, Drag Paks and COPOS shouldn't have been put in Stock in the first place. GM trans in Fords and Dodges galore. Should have been S/S only. I know...I know..that horse is long out of the barn and running loose.

Already allowed in SS, and aside from some optimum gear ratio choices, it would slow a lot of Stock cars down with a 9"!

It's unfortunate Ford and Chryslers don't have a SFI approved case. Then again I think stocker cars should have a vin number too. If safety is the issue. Better safe than sorry. The new cars have some serious power over older muscle cars with some combinations available. Maybe like all safety rules. It would come into play when certain E.T and speed is a factor.

Wasn't the rule originally that 500 had to be built to run stock and 50 to run super stock?
