Crate Motor Class

Ed Wright · 10-17-2017, 05:15 PM

I have no idea what that index is. I don't know how fast he is. I don't know what class it fits. I don't watch Stock enough to know. I don't recall even seeing one at the races, but as I said, I don't normally watch Stock. Or anything but SS. I can barely keep up with my own stuff.

When I tried running IHRA a few years ago, the indexes were slower (mine was 3 tenths slower than NHRA), and there were several IHRA cars that could run both, that could not run under their NHRA index.

Dan says he will not run NHRA, so I guess that part doesn't matter. :-)

I really don't understand somebody putting a car together that could not run both. Kinda painting yourself in a corner.

Where did the "NHRA Sportsman cars on the chopping block" story come from? LOL
Somebody's jealous wishful thinking.

To be fully Stock compatible and somewhat competitive!

Want to have fun and there are other options!

Lots of really good conversations today.
Stay tuned...Pure Stock lives!

I don't know that it would be that expensive. A cam, headers, aftermarket EFI, and TH-200 would get you close.

This car in the right hands is a player. 1.30+ under easy.
