I don't have the rule book handy, but aren't the very first sentences in
Stock and Street Prepared categories something about vehicles being produced
for sale as street legal in the US or something like that?
If you eliminated that wording, then wouldn't you open up the stock classes
to all types of cars that aren't produced for the US? Then they would fall
into NOC categories and you *MIGHT* really shake things up with a car like
the really high HP Subaru WRX that isn't available here.
Just wondering and not trying to argue....:)
