Crate Motor Class

I've never raced any IHRA events, I hope to once to twice in the future.
My guess is that an IHRA compeditor builds a crate car to bracket race and class race on a budget. If it ever gets implemented in NHRA it will only be a short time before the budget gets raised significantly. A guy who has money and desires to run fast will turn one of these into a max effort deal and spend nearly as much money in the crate engine as he does in a traditional stock class engine. Then the budget guy will be far back and still racing IHRA mostly and out classed performance wise buy guys that lived to work on their cars and to go fast for a lifetime.

I'd dump all my Pontiac stuff right in the nearest river in a second, if we could put any engine in our cars. The NHRA laughs at me when I'm looking for a replacement cylinder head for my combo that is 40 years old and very hard to find specific parts. Be nice to buy new stuff and cut it up to to fast.

My guess is we are at the end of Stock as we know it. Soon the heads up will be eliminated along with all tech. Then all of this will be a mute point. Then I'll race bracket 2 much closer to home and on a budget. Or just stop all together and save some money for something better.
