Re: Crate Motor Class
Dan, why would anybody want to bash me for being sensible enough to build a car that can run IHRA (at one time), NHRA and Brackets?
I'll admit to being cheap AND crazy but I'm NOT stupid.

Re: Crate Motor Class
Being bright enough to build a car that can run with either association is no reason to bash anybody.
Expecting a large racing association to add unneeded classes just for a small group is something else. Give it up.

Re: Crate Motor Class
Hey Dan, NHRA is not going to add more classes when they can't control what they have. Build that old stocker you have.
P.S. Leave Billy alone.

Didn’t say anyone bashed you! Just the opposite..in fact you just described me too : You are sweet gentle person who would never offend even a mouse! Bob Bender...! I hope Billy Nees Nickel Stocker kicks every $100,000 FS Stocker out there! He has an advantage because his car is so slow it’s shawdow falls asleeps at the line! Then latches on the faster car to catch up! From an earlier Challenge..I bet Billy or you Bob or any other Stocker Racer $10 they cannot beat my Pure Stocker! Pure Stock Still Rules! Just like Billy Nees cars.....it is affordable! Now where was that other conversation on CR where Stock Racers were complaining that they do not like running Bracket Racing because of their sensitive engines? D |

Re: Crate Motor Class
As this thread goes on I am really beginning to compare IHRA Crate Motor and Pure Stocker guys to the equivalent of a person who smokes pot. They are constantly sitting around trying to convince everyone who will listen why it should be legal as they stare at you all glassy eyed ..lol

Re: Crate Motor Class
I bracket race my stocker from time to time and it can handle it ... and most of the pure stockers can be converted over to stockers or just run street/11.50 at the local track .My stocker can run the pro/9.00-12.00 or super pro 7.00-12.00 brackets ...Just not the street class/bracket . And with all the after market stuff you can run now your half way to a crate motor anyway .

Re: Crate Motor Class
It's sad, all these pages bashing the thought of crate motor cars coming too play from all these "old guys". It's clear you could care less about the future of the sport you helped build over the last 30-40yrs(thank you btw) , if you did you would welcome evolution and a cost effective way for the younger generation to get into the sport of classracing, isn't that ONE of the attractions of the crate motor class? To diminish someone's intelligence because they don't build a NHRA legal car but now want to play in ththe NHRA because their sanctioning body is no longer around is more of an elitist attitude vs what the spirit of classracing is. If my father didn't raise my brother and I on the idea of building a car within the guidelines of rules (aka a classcar), I'd gladly go play with the freak show cars like everyone else my age is doing and save thousands and thousands of $$. And to give me credentials on this , I'm 33 yrs old with a AA/SA 69 camaro and a SS/JA 68 Camaro...that yes I own and built.... (felt the need to put that last sentence to avoid any negative comments thinking I'm a "high , glassy eyed" crate motor guy chiming in)

Re: Crate Motor Class
They love crate motor cars, as long as they cost over $100K.
