Most NHRA cars that showed up at IHRA races left their cars in bracket mode and were top top qualifiers .. I don't mean to be disrespectful, and maybe I'm wrong and missing something here, , but there is ( I mean was) no comparison ..And it don't madder anyway

When I was competing in the IHRA there were a lot of crate motor cars. Some of them were pretty fast. I am not going to debate who builds better stuff. But, if a person thinks that all it takes to go fast in a crate motor car is a cam swap they are dreaming. The same recources are available to everyone.
