Crate Motor Classes were discussed 25 years ago.
Object to build combinations to the spirit of Stock. Nice to see Vegas, Pintos, 55/57 Chevys, Barracudas with updated combinations! It worked and GT Classes and Pure Stock were added to round out the needs racers were asking for! Certainly more realistic than the FS Factory ready to race cars. I remember the pride A Stockers had when they first started breaking into the 9's. Now talking 2 seconds for a 7 second 150 mph Stocker. One racer wrote adding a Roll Bar to a U/SA for fear of being rear ended by an FS car...! One other idea. What is missing are people setting National Records in IHRA. Setting one always creates a Buzz of Excitement... Wish IHRA would give 5 points as incentive to do that. It would be one of the small things that would help attract more racers. Especially those lazy CM owners! D |

If nhra let crate motor stockers run, there still be low car counts. To many key board racers that wanna wine and bitch.

If you you build an IHRA only combo, go run IHRA.
If you want to run both, be bright enough to build a combo that fits both. Don't expect rule changes to make you happy. Simple, right?

My car came from the factory with an LT1 engine, and that is what is in it now. It is a '96 model, I bought in 1997, it was 18 months old with 36,000 miles on it, with an LT1 engine & automatic transmission.
You evidently built that car for IHRA, you can still run it there, right? You can also bracket race it at NHRA tracks, right? But, expect THE major sanctioning body to make new rules for you? You built the wrong car for NHRA, other than et brackets. You did not understand that when you built it?
