Crate Motor Class - Page 36

The difference between a ss/gt. And a crate motor car is prettying easy
Ssgt is a late car with a early motor.
Crate motor is bogus combo made up by IHRA to draw all you people trying to take the easy way out of class racing.
Look where IHRA friendly attitude of bring a car with some bogus combo
We’ll find a class for you to race.
Ya that worked out real good.
Hope to see some of you race Nhra. Otherwise stick to the crate motor keyboard bash class.

James,
Tune up your combination and driving and don't concern yourself with the opinion of retired racers. I burned more rubber and love this sport and forum more than you ever will.

How about Stock / GT that may work with everyone ..

WTF is wrong with you guys. NHRA has to many classes now with out create motor or STK/GT. If you want to run NHRA get off you ***** and build a class car with the current rules. If not go run bracket 1 or pro ET. IHRA had both of these classes for 20 plus years and there were what 30 of them or so around the county the past two years that went to 2 or more races. Case Closed.

That was a IHRA class also that had a wopping 2 or 3 cars built for it.

Put a NHRA legal class engine in your crate motor car and come race if you have enough grade points to make a race. Last I looked people are begging to get into over half the national events.

Now we have people bashing people that actually race.............that makes a lot of sense.

We need no more new classes. We need to consolidate further so the manufacturers will support our sport again.

If everyone wants a fair shot at winning there are bracket races most weekends at local tracks. When I came into this sport over 30 years ago I saw no emphasis on the playing field being fair. I did see a set of rules to play with and people that were willing to play a game to see who had the best stuff.

I'm not disparaging anyone's decision to running any combination or class they choose, I respect freedom of choice, I just don't care for the rules.

Bob Mulry · 10-16-2017, 08:49 PM

It's time to get the shovel out and throw a couple of shovelfuls of dirt on IHRA class racing......

It's done and it's gone....

You IHRA guys and gals have more than 1 choice available.....

IHRA Stock and Super Stock racers that fit the NHRA rules structure are welcome to come and race with us. The cars that don't fit the Stock & Super Stock rules structure can still race NHRA, but it would be in SST, SG, SC or TS...

There are many organizations that would be happy to have you race....

NHRA Class Racing is unfortunately is not one of them....

I am sure that they would love for you to race with them. I just don't understand why you feel they should change their rules.
