Crate Motor Class - Page 2

I'm with Todd Hoven on this one.
Stock Eliminator, in the IHRA is dead, as it does not exist anymore.
NHRA does not have a Crate Motor class.
All the IHRA Crate Motor cars are nothing more than Bracket Cars at the moment, as there is no sanctioning body for these.
The NHRA is basically allowing Bracket Cars to run run in Division 2 races.

In a nutshell, if NHRA is foolish enough to put Pure Stock and Crate Motor Stock into NHRA Stock Eliminator, the only thing the IHRA only racers will have accomplished is to kill NHRA Stock Eliminator. Because the class as it existed, will not exist anymore. IHRA only racers will not have joined NHRA Stock Eliminator. They will have convinced NHRA to create Bracket Stock Eliminator.

None of that encourages me to build a new engine for the current car and return, or to buy/build a second car. I don't care anything about bracket racing, it's not what I want to do. And what amounts to alphabet soup stock eliminator, where the class designation has to be in fine print, or stretch across half the windshield, has no draw for me.

Stock eliminator according to NHRA- entry level class. You're kidding right? No offense but Super Street is the new entry level.
