Re: Crate Motor Class
I've had a couple pretty good crate motor car's and I can tell you it runs around $10,000 to build a fairly good one. Not the $15,000 plus for an NHRA small block. What's the difference, it's racing and supposed to be fun. I don't understand the hate I read here. If NHRA let's crate motors in is it going to cost you anything? NO, then why all the hate ! We're not here long enough to worry about the small things in life.

Many in stock believe that diluting the ranks with crate motors will lead to the end of unique combinations..........and they're probably right. |

You only speak for yourself. Just look at Factory Stock in NHRA.. CM, GT and PS worked fine in IHRA So did the FI, Truck Classes, FWD. As for Stockers being Stockers. The dilution came from the morphing Class Rules. Not from a new class car. D |

Re: Crate Motor Class
It worked so good in IHRA that it no longer exists, think about it.

Re: Crate Motor Class
The rich guys don't want to run their $120,000 crate motor cars against $20,000 crate motor cars simple as that. Nobody wants to add more classes because it "dilutes stock eliminator", until they are getting their doors blown off by fi car or a factory car. Then all of a sudden we need new classes. The people who think IHRA getting rid of the sportsman classes wont effect them are wrong. The smaller the pool of racers the less healthy the sport is.

The reason IHRA dropped Class Racing is because too many racers did not support IHRA's Class Racing. Cars that could run both NHRA and IHRA didn't show up. So much for that argument ! Seems when Mr. Bader ran IHRA it did well. He moved on and things changed. IHRA was quite innovative bringing in new types of classes. Classes that NHRA glommed on to. NHRA, NMCA, IHRA, AHRA can all do what they want. They are all competing for our business. It was the fickleness of Racers that stiffed armed IHRA Class Racing. If you had shown up there would be IHRA Class racing. It is a Lost Opportunity because of your behavior and attitudes. You did not support the sport !!
