Re: Crate Motor Class
Look NHRA added the Div2 1/8 mile races to help the division, They have never been a strong division car count wise. Nationals we're good but the division was weak. You now have more races and they invited crate motor cars in. Have fun enjoy the time you have racing. If they pass NHRA tech let them run. And never mind the dilute the class nonsense ! Real stocker's we're gone a long time ago.

Re: Crate Motor Class
It's pointless discussing this any more.

Re: Crate Motor Class
And you can be Number one qualifier at Indy with legal stuff, but it does take more work than money.

My point is this, if they want to prove there is an opportunity for NHRA they better be loading up prepared to come in droves to prove it. When IHRA had the Sportsman Spectacular races I loved the idea, so much so I traveled to Memphis to run one(16 hours). Are thsee guys prepared to do that?

Re: Crate Motor Class
For a long time I was all IHRA had to check stock and S/S. I learned to check a stocker (pre 1985) cam from Greg X. and Marty Barrett. Both great tech guys. I trained the late Hank Blankinship, and a few others. The good guys IHRA had have all died off or threw in the towel. Kenny Shawver of Defiance Transmissions was a great help when he came in. He to gave it up. Oh well its all history now. I was razzin you about "Madder".

Re: Crate Motor Class
Very well said Crate Camaro. I to have expressed my opinions and said the same as you, only to be herded to the rear of the bus like trash. I really think these hatters need to have a good look in the mirror. When all of the 60 + year old farts die off and the class dies maybe they will think differently about crates. You are correct about our engines not being any different then a part number. Besides all of the stuff in the rule book on different parts that are acceptable now just makes there engines more of a crate engine then what we run. Our combo is more stock and runs faster then what they run is why they cant stand us.
