School me on Stock Eliminator?

Hey 360Z28: Crates are IHRA, I'm not familiar w/ them.

Bill: By lightweight rad, I mean factory 6 cyl. Removing rear seat is legal when installing a roll bar.

Stock Eliminator has been around in it's present form since 1972. (Roughly) This has made changes hard for the "Old School" racer's to deal with. I'm old school, but I understand that things evolve. They used to check to see if interior trim was correct for the model claimed. Tech inspectors knew what they were looking at. (Well, most did. One guy was teching my buddy's 6 pk RR and said, "Ay-del-brock-manny-fold? You got to be shi**in' me!") Today, how many can tell if that 2 bbl carb on a 180 hp 273 is correct?
I don't want to throw this thread off track. I'm glad the 4bbl 273 is getting some respect (lowered factor). Be careful, though, the factoring system is complex. Check out the NHRA's "Automatic Horsepower Factoring System", You're too quick, you get hit w/ hp. That's a whole 'nother story...
