Re: Crate Motor Class
Wanting another racing association to add new classes for you guys sounds kinda like a Liberal deal, doesn't it? LMAO

The choice was made by racers to build an IHRA only car or a NHRA car (that would be legal at IHRA) Some choose the IHRA rout that's fine. Now IHRA said screw you and they are pissed at NHRA and the NHRA racers. Shouldn't you all be pissed at IHRA and maybe a little at your self for the choice you made. I seriously considered the CM option when there were some tracks in my area as I would love to use a Holly carb, But I decided that I was much better off with a combination that could be raced with either sanction. I did race with IHRA when they had divisional races in my area. They left I didn't leave them. But I was sure glad I made the right call on what car to build. |

Since my purchase, I have not stopped pouring money into my project in order to make it more user friendly, more consistent and quicker, all with the same thought of ensuring that the final product is NHRA Legal and can qualify at an event. It really does not matter where I qualify on the ladder, just that I qualify and get to race at the NHRA event. The IHRA and NHRA were two different organizations, in competition with each other for attendance and the all mighty dollar. The IHRA lost the fight. From what I have seen, in my short time participating at this level, it was strictly due to lack of participation. I really do not care what John Force, or any of the Forces do, as long as I have a place to race. I'm not sure why you think that he NHRA should just pick up your or any other IHRA class. From what I can see, they have enough classes and more participants than there are spaces.

I really don't care I don't take the car out much (still have it pretty much ready to go anytime I wish) I have no want or desire to run national events. Divisional races and local combos is more to my liking. I could care less if the combos allow IHRA cars. I think the issue most have with allowing the IHRA cars is National event entries are getting hard to come by and they don't want it to get any worse. |

Re: Crate Motor Class
There is no point banging on the NHRA racers because you may have an obsolete race car. The crate motor racers still have options. They can switch over to Stocker motors. They can start their own racing association. They can attend bracket races. They can sell their cars and buy Stockers or they can quit. Just to name a few. It's not that hard to figure out. But banging on the NHRA racers won't change a thing.
