I'll admit to being cheap AND crazy but I'm NOT stupid.

Billy;
Didn’t say anyone bashed you!
Just the opposite..in fact you just described me too :
You are sweet gentle person who would never offend even a mouse!

Bob Bender...!
I hope Billy Nees Nickel Stocker kicks every $100,000 FS Stocker out there!
He has an advantage because his car is so slow it’s shawdow falls asleeps at the line!
Then latches on the faster car to catch up!

From an earlier Challenge..I bet Billy or you Bob or any other Stocker Racer $10 they cannot beat my Pure Stocker!

Pure Stock Still Rules!
Just like Billy Nees cars.....it is affordable!

Now where was that other conversation on CR where Stock Racers were complaining that they do not like running Bracket Racing because of their sensitive engines?

As this thread goes on I am really beginning to compare IHRA Crate Motor and Pure Stocker guys to the equivalent of a person who smokes pot. They are constantly sitting around trying to convince everyone who will listen why it should be legal as they stare at you all glassy eyed ..lol

Lmfao!!!

It's sad, all these pages bashing the thought of crate motor cars coming too play from all these "old guys". It's clear you could care less about the future of the sport you helped build over the last 30-40yrs(thank you btw) , if you did you would welcome evolution and a cost effective way for the younger generation to get into the sport of classracing, isn't that ONE of the attractions of the crate motor class? To diminish someone's intelligence because they don't build a NHRA legal car but now want to play in ththe NHRA because their sanctioning body is no longer around is more of an elitist attitude vs what the spirit of classracing is. If my father didn't raise my brother and I on the idea of building a car within the guidelines of rules (aka a classcar), I'd gladly go play with the freak show cars like everyone else my age is doing and save thousands and thousands of $$. And to give me credentials on this , I'm 33 yrs old with a AA/SA 69 camaro and a SS/JA 68 Camaro...that yes I own and built.... (felt the need to put that last sentence to avoid any negative comments thinking I'm a "high , glassy eyed" crate motor guy chiming in)

They love crate motor cars, as long as they cost over $100K.

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't the factory stock guys allowed to put a different year engine in their cars now? How is that not the same as "Stock GT".

Yeah this Thread is like the Class Racer Vs Bracket Racer post.
Giving you grief with nonsense comments.

You made a comment about spending what you could to race.
To race people have to make sensible choices.

Pure Stock was a cost effective way for many to get back to racing Stock.
CM was a cost effective way to use current similar available engines.
GT was a cost effective way to use existing Engines in a similar body.
NHRA SS does it...but not Stock.
All affordable solutions or upgrades.

If those classes are so good for the sport why was the participation so low? Why is the IHRA out of business?

Petition the IHRA to carry your classes in a big bracket only forum. Run it as a big combo. Cheap and fun for everyone. Why would they say no? You guys as racers take care of tech. Everyone wins.

The NHRA has too many classes in stock. We should go to 1 pound breaks and combine sticks and auto’s if they won’t do that, no reason to ask for anything else.

Dan! No, it's not! There is no such thing as a "cost effective way of racing Stock" or Brackets or slot cars or turtles!
Anybody else? I'm on a roll.
