Lance, restrictor plates were mandated for ALL cars at the two superspeedways in '87 after Bobby Allison ripped down part of the spectator fence in his Buick at Talladega and several people were hurt. It had little to do with Bill Elliott qualifying at 217 mph, other than the fact that the cars had gotten too fast for the two tracks. Bill never drove for the Wood Brothers, by the way. He drove for his dad's #9 team which was bought by Harry Melling in the mid '80s until he moved to Junior Johnson's Ford team in '92. I'm not saying that NASCAR has never favored GM....they have, but not pertaining to this rule.

Well at least I got the part of the ford being the fastest. Then his brother was building engines for him at that time ???
