The great myth Stock and Super Stock is Performance based eliminator. Thirty five years ago or so it was, when you had to win class to get into the eliminator.Now you can enter and run the eliminator as long as the car meets the rules of stock and superstock. It does not matter whether the car run 1.60 under or the index, the exception is Indy. True you qualify by performance but that is about it for the performance end. Now the subject of class. Eight times a year class in run for super stock and stock plus Sportnationals. This is a sideshow and should not effect policy for the eliminator. Now we have a small group, 4 to 7% in stock a little less in super stock who want to trade two tenths of the indexes for the ability to run 1.499 under. I do not think this should happen.
