Archaic rules

It's time we addressed some of the language and some of the rules in the street stock division. Many of these rules were written back in the early eighties and are not applicable today. The first one I would like to see changed is the "same engine, chassis, and body manufacturers rule". If there were comparable Ford or Chrysler frames out there people would be using them to build cars. Look in a Speedway catalog and show me an aftermarket suspension part for any Ford or Chrysler chassis. They don't exist. The Ford Crown Vic is a 4 door behemoth with over a 114 inch wheelbase. The rules state 108 inch minimum wheelbase. It's no great coincidence that 108 is exactly the wheelbase of the GM "G" body chassis. This rule provides no one with any advantages. Get ride of it and gain a few cars in the class. Opinions welcome!
