I seriously considered the CM option when there were some tracks in my area as I would love to use a Holly carb, But I decided that I was much better off with a combination that could be raced with either sanction. I did race with IHRA when they had divisional races in my area. They left I didn't leave them. But I was sure glad I made the right call on what car to build.

Buddy im far from pissed at NHRA however they way their "sportsman" racers carry themselves on an open forum about possibly allowing IHRA racers enter their world is discusting. Im glad i built an ihra combo because i met alot of great tech officials and racers and made alot of friends. Im kinda glad i didnt build an NHRA combo because i cant imagine what its like hanging out with you guys when the races are done. Pass the Grey Poupon. When i do come race ill park on the road so you dont have to smell whats left over from my IHRA crate motor days. Id like to do a count of how many times ive been asked why i built a crate motor combo and why i built an IHRA only combo. Who cares. Question is why is it ok to have stocker with parachutes but a brand specific replacement engine offered by the manufacture combination is no good? Because NHRA never asked for your opinion they dont care what you think. There going to do what makes money and not worry what the entry level classes think. Imagine if NHRA folded up their sportsman classes to go forward with pro classes only. IHRA officials and racers would welcome you with high 5s, hand shakes and a cold open beer (for after the races lets make that clear) even if you had NHRA specific class allowances. Thats fact.
