I blame this mess on Bugaj. He started this thread and he's always been a trouble maker.....He used to pick on my dog and kids when we went to IHRA races. Here's my 2 cents. If you guys want to race with the NHRA that bad, man up and build an NHRA combo. It's just that simple. And, there is life after NHRA/ IHRA class racing. It's about choices.

What evidence is showing that NHRA class is on the chopping block?

Be interesting to know more about your family heritage.

Yet also have been around a good while and know this history.
In fact so old I Carbon Date my wife!!
Agree 100% about the post Bader IHRA was governed well.

There is a whole new world out here.
Investors of IHRA are about making more money for their investment.
Class Racing requires paying for a strong knowledge base.
Drag Racing is not a high profit business profile.
Run right will provide a steady stream and Bader was good at that.

Investor greed is also why NHRA Class Racing is on the chopping block!

Also agree there are too many classes.
Performance wise my F/PS car would fall in R or Q/SA.
CM and GT cars could fall in a bunch of higher classes.
All the fitments are already defined.
NHRA already has a separate FWD, Truck, FS classes.

Integrate all of them under the existing A-Z class structure.
Rule changes will require moving all under a tighter A-Z system.
Adopt the GT, PS, CM classes.
More cars competing means more voice more revenue.
Especially to the Tracks that are not as widely attended.

Would be happy put some skin in the game being a non-automotive contingency sponsor for Pure Stock with NHRA.

Someone else has to step up for CM and GT..!

Question for Ed Wright: What's it going to take to make Dan's car run the index in NHRA trim? Looks like it runs pretty well as a pure stocker.
Gear? Cam? ??????Just curious if you could make this combo run the index without going crazy on it.

I have no idea what that index is. I don't know how fast he is. I don't know what class it fits. I don't watch Stock enough to know. I don't recall even seeing one at the races, but as I said, I don't normally watch Stock. Or anything but SS. I can barely keep up with my own stuff.

When I tried running IHRA a few years ago, the indexes were slower (mine was 3 tenths slower than NHRA), and there were several IHRA cars that could run both, that could not run under their NHRA index.

Dan says he will not run NHRA, so I guess that part doesn't matter. :-)

I really don't understand somebody putting a car together that could not run both. Kinda painting yourself in a corner.

Where did the "NHRA Sportsman cars on the chopping block" story come from? LOL
Somebody's jealous wishful thinking.

You IHRA guys and gals have more than 1 choice available.....

IHRA Stock and Super Stock racers that fit the NHRA rules structure are welcome to come and race with us. The cars that don't fit the Stock & Super Stock rules structure can still race NHRA, but it would be in SST, SG, SC or TS...

There are many organizations that would be happy to have you race....

NHRA Class Racing is unfortunately is not one of them....
Gee Bob who made you the NHRA police. Bottom line your just a scared little man !!! Why not Zipp it and enjoy racing. Let the cards fall where they may.

Stay tuned...Pure Stock lives!
