Thanks for the feedback.
Don Compilito had problems with their 12 bolt.

I have Moser Axles, Studs, mini Spool.
Replaced a set as they were discovered bent installing broken Studs.

What did you do to make it reliable?

Have never been disrespectful to you or anyone on CR.
Your imbedded bigotry and inappropriate comments noted..!
Don't ever speak to me or approach me !!

Fine to discuss opinions about racing.
Your characterizations are over the top.
You are on IGNORE!

Will report this to the Arbiter...

Good day

Thanks Danny;
If they do will plan a visit.
A bit far but be cool to run see Grice and Butler again.
Then of course the unbituitous and famous Charlie Brown 57 Wagon.
They are the some of the funnest racers to hang around with.

In case you guys didn't see the schedule, CCRA will have their season finale at VMP the first weekend in November. 1/4 mile racing at a great facility.

I hate to revive this post thats almost 8 years old but i have to comment for the lost racers of IHRA stock. Its unbelievable how we are treated like outcasts that live in the land of misfit toys. Im 37 years old....got involved in IHRA Stock in 2008. Built a crate motor because i liked the idea. Ran .5 under my first year and was so proud but i wanted more. Worked on it, spent the money, did the research, lots of dynoing. Fast forward to 2016. Set the H/CM record in the worst conditions possible. It was like i won the world series. Something ill hold and be proud of for the rest of my life. So no im not looking for a pat on the back or a hero biscut. But my question is how many people in the 25 to 35 age group are building a stocker? Second question...how many NHRA stock racers are in the age group of 60 and up? What im trying to say is without bringing the IHRA combos into NHRA what will happen in 10 years? 20 years. Its a dying sport already. We need to stick together and help eachother out here. Have a look at the latest Nitro Joes and see how many CM / Pure Stock / GT Stock racers there are and now have nowhere to race. Sure NHRA purists will say who cares but we are all in this for the same reasons....because we live and breathe stock eliminator. We love the class. And no...crate motors are not the same as circle track crate engines....the combos are IDENTICAL to a traditional stocker build, just has a different casting number on the head. Imagine if the tables were turned here. Im sure alot of you were around when modified had their cords cut...probably not that great of a feeling. This is not any different. And no going bracket racing (et1 and et2) isnt an option id rather park it. If we were to be accepted into NHRA (by the negative feedback stretching back to 2009 it will never happen) we would already have to be hit with 3 tenths off the index. Reset the HP factors and go. Theres zero to loose and everything to gain here. And all kidding aside we are less of a threat then the super charged entrys of todays factory hotrods which i believe should have their own deal personally. Just a thought fellas.
