CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Mopar Contingency; What are your desires?

They've always had a good spread of contingency for the sportsman racer, but I wish they'd come back to IHRA.

Overall, some basic parts availability for the old stuff would be a big help - i.e.: blocks & heads. Other brands have a lot more choices from their respective factories as well as the aftermarket. I think many sportsman racers, like myself, couldn't get the full use & potential out of a Drag Pak even if it was given to us!

Limited parts help for some, like they use to do, would be nice. But that may be a bit much to ask for these days.

History repeats itself! When the Hemis were over-factored in Pro stock back in the '70's, they put more emphasis on the sportsman classes, even encouraging the Pro drivers to switch.
