Re: Crate Motor Class
NHRA isn't "changing" anything!
1) The "Opens" in Div.2 didn't exist before. 2) Most if not all will be 1/8 mile, which many NHRA racers don't like anyway. 3) The series is SEPERATE from NHRA national and divisional points, so that won't affect any racers chasing those. 4) NHRA racers should be happy that they can get grade points there for national events. 5) Some people who are most vocal against the plan are outside of Division 2 anyway. What does it have to do with you? What purpose does the bashing serve besides stirring things up? Don't like it?...Don't go to them. The rest of NHRA hasn't been influenced by crate motors. A side note - today's NHRA Stocker's are MUCH closer to Crate Motor cars than the class that they started as - Pure Stock! Right now I have an IHRA Crate and a NHRA Stocker. I'll race both or whichever one I can do well with. I'm thankful for the option.

Re: Crate Motor Class
I find it amusing that there are racers, (NHRA) that think to run a crate motor class that you just buy a engine from the suppler and put it in as is. No need to take it apart or buy any pieces or work on it. Magic.

It is REALLY Nice to Start off with .......BRAND NEW PARTs !!!!! Racers will go through the engine to make sure all is good. Add Cam, Intake and Carb and you are off running with the big dogs. Plus if they meet another same classed car they have to run heads up. Just like the other Stock Eliminators cars ! $5000 is a lot less than a $10,000+ Stocker Engine. NHRA has already approving new AFTERMARKET Heads. Holy Crate Motor Captain Kirk !! More Di-Lithium Crystals ...Scottie ! But Captain !! ...........Our Communicators will Blow up !!

Again because you have a hard time understanding, maybe respect your fellow racers instead of flicking your nose at them and saying how useless their car is now just because you aren't effected. Others have stated why they built their cars the way they did including myself. I'm not asking for NHRA to change, I'm asking you to think about your fellow racers that it does. No matter what the cost was, people have still invested time and money into their setups and don't need d ickish remarks how they are just good for bracket racing now. I dont think you would talk like that to a guy that ran Modified when it was dropped and you tell him to just go bracket racing. |

Re: Crate Motor Class
The Modified cars were simply moved to Comp.
