You do not speak for me! I ran Stock in 1972 and 73 with a 64 Impala SS. Know the rules and what happened then. Remember arguments what NHRA considered Legal despite the PN recorded. Had to run the pistons in the stock position. Ran off the national records instead of the index. If you ran low 12's you were considered screaming fast. Later ran a 69 Impala in M/SA until marriage and family took center stage. IHRA has never been a popular as NHRA. Even NASCAR is having issues. D |

NHRA has considered Crate Motors and may still happen. Like that you car race twice in a weekend. Not going to happen in NHRA. As for CM engine being less expensive, it is not that much difference. Less expensive is a good idea considering running Stock is expensive. Our biggest cost are the Rigs, Tow Vehicles, Lodging, Fuel and stuff breaks. AND the Parroting is because why you don't like CM? NHRA would be wise to adopt Pure Stock and CM. It would help both Drag Racing operations. More people would build them. Maybe that is the real ire about CM and PS? D |

Re: Crate Motor Class
Dan, maybe you could explain why it would be "wise" for NHRA to open the door to allow Pure Stock or Crate Motor cars into Stock Eliminator. It seems like there are already more real NHRA legal Stockers out there than spots in NHRA National events. As for "helping both organizations", if the entire 6 car Pure Stock contingent moved to NHRA, how would that help IHRA? Why, that seems to be about 1/2 the number of Stockers racing in IHRA "national events" these days!
