What's in a Name?

The "nmro" calls Class 3 one of its Pro/Touring classes. So why is it still called Super Stock? Back in the day, a high winding small block or a 454 with Super Swampers was the hot ticket. Most trucks still had lights and street-related equipment in place. Today, a small block is anything under 600 inches, 4 links, fiberglass racing body, and racers carrying the front end for the first part of the track is the norm. If the "nmro" is going to let the class evolve this way, then should we not have a proper name, aka PRO STOCK? How many of us can quickly look at our racers and measure the investment in the tens of thousands of dollars? How many of us have purchased enclosed trailers and traveled thousands of miles already this year? I think that a simple name change in not only order but would show some progressive thought (ha ha) by the "nmro". How about having the top five in each class carry their points ranking like the NHRA does? Next year, Jason Massie would cary P/S 1 so people would know he was the man to beat. I feel that these are just a few of the improvements that could be made with very little cost to the "nmro". Now I don't have a particular axe to grind, but if we are expected to pay for 2 passes and travel the way we do, i.e. act like professionals, then shouldn't our sanctioning body do the same?

P.S. I am going to start carrying the Pro Stock results from each race and will do what I can about points. I'd like to get some feedback so please feel free to email me at meanstreakracing@gmail.com.
