School me on Stock Eliminator?

:munky2:I tried this years ago Bill, I have a straight, rust free 66 Dart I wanted to run in Stock with the D/Dart engine combo. I got the runaround about the minimum 500 build and such. I told the NHRA gent that there were easily 500 66 Dart's built with 273's and could prove it. His response was that it had to be 500 D/Darts. I told him I'd bet him a $1000 bucks there weren't 500 '67 Novas built with the 325 horse 327, but they're legal. What gives? "Politics" he said, and then hung up on me. I never called back. I went nostalgia racing instead.

You know they DID just approve the single 4 bbl Hemi combination (I think they called it the "NASCAR option") for Stock Eliminator. Some racer was flogging a 65 Dodge B-body version at Vegas this year. My fear is they'll say OK to the Dart, I'll pour vast sums of money into the thing, piss off the Chevy people, and either get told "Whoops, just kidding...!" or get factored into space.
