Without getting snitty one way or the other, what Bruce says is the best description of the situation. Crate motor classes are not right or wrong, but there is simply not anybody racing them. So your only choice to race with a national organization is to build a stocker or a super stocker.

Ed I agree with you on pure stock. There's a handful but nothing significant, sorry Dan :-(, you're still a friend of mine. But as far as crate motors go, Rich wouldn't of created this new series for Division 2 if there wasn't enough of them to race. I can personally count 20 CM cars in Division 2 alone, there is a bunch in Canada as well. Will they all race this year? Who on this earth knows except for them.

I heard there are a few guys pulling out their NHRA stock motors to put their crate motor's back in for the div2 race's. I guess if California wants crate motor's in it will happen. It's more membership money and they like it.

Did NHRA adopt crate motors? Or are these guys going to run Super Street, or just not open their hood for tech?

They'll race division 2 in the 1/8 mile races. I'm sure 99.9 % can pass tech. You won't find any $5000. Heads and intakes on a crate motor car. Their budget racers..
