Wow thin skinned... If you did not support IHRA you did not support our Sport! Thanks for validating my post. And I have a legal IHRA Stocker and more Stock than yours. If NHRA does not want my business I will support the programs that do! D Last edited by Dan Fahey; 02-16-2018 at 11:16 PM. |

News flash IHRA doesn't run stock anymore so how can it be a legal sticker without a sanctioning body?

Re: Crate Motor Class
Are there any other differences between an NHRA Stock car and a IHRA Crate Motor Stock car, other than the engine?

Everyone runs at sanctioned NHRA tracks. Still that is not the issue... You admit you did not support IHRA Class Racing! That was my point! Too many others did not either. And you had combinations to run both and you didn’t. What was wrong attending IHRA programs? Instead you dirge me trying to duck the issue and play victim. I have a legal stocker because the rules are documented and still apply. Especially running at association and NMCA races. Because there is this thing called integrity! It is frustrating dealing with grumpy people like you. Why would any one want to come near an NHRA Meet? Instead of supporting this invitation by NHRA you are trying to beat us into submission until we smile! Speaking for myself, Iam not changing anything to have fun. Which is the reason any one of us builds what we have. I have options and will go where my business is courted. Also called Capitalism ! I think it is cool that NHRA is promoting the 1/8th mile races. Especially Allowing CM cars to compete! Just wish they invited the rest of us Pure Stocks and GT cars. I am still a proud IHRA member and NHRA, and NMCA and soon AHRA! It is sad that IHRA dropped Class Racing. Let’s hope NHRA does not do the same!

Re: Crate Motor Class
You're also allowed minor suspension mods for tire clearance (i.e.: 3/4" offset kit for leaf springs on Mopars.) and you can have a trunk mounted battery without a matching one up front. There were originally a few cars built with springs moved into frame rails, but they were getting away from that as too radical. They also revised other rules shortly after inception that originaly allowed other brand rear ends (i.e: Ford 9" in place of 8 3/4" - sounds like FS!) and tightened up on hood scoop rules to keeping original hole specs & sealed/unsealed configurations, like with "regular" Stock rules. They also allowed replacement aluminum radiators before NHRA did.

Re: Crate Motor Class
Good Luck to you 1/8 mile folks glad you have a program to race
But you proud crate motor and pure Stock racers better get of ClassRacer and race Also you Proud people fail to realize that most ihra support came from us Nhra racers If you continue to get same car counts as in the past You will have nothing again If you get less support from the Nhra car you will have No Cars. We get more cars at an East Coast Stock Ss race than you could get at any 2 ihra races All Talk Will Spell Doom for you keyboard beaters. We will see. I bet you guys fumble the ball and make excuses

Re: Crate Motor Class
You all know arguing over this is a fools errand. Weather you agree or not,show up or don't, win and take the money and move on. Simple as that. The racer that takes the money wont be bitching. Clint Eastwood said more in three words than most said in a hundred.

Re: Crate Motor Class
NHRA missed and opportunity to pick up several hundred more cars.
That is a lot of business. I think NHRA will add Crate Motors! It is a natural fit for the existing program. Plus attract more attention from aftermarket industry. Which may provide more Contingincy money. NHRA is allowing new Build Blocks, Heads and Manifolds. I think the class should be call Modified Stock! NHRA should create a new Stock Eliminator Class and keep it Stock Designed to allow new production cars to compete against each other. Some new Production cars are running mid 9 sec out of the factory. Even the L4s and V6s are quicker then most Muscle Cars. Get back to classic Bolt On Mods. Which would attract more aftermarket products! All about the business of earning money and having fun.. D Last edited by Dan Fahey; 02-17-2018 at 04:15 PM. |

Re: Crate Motor Class
Dan, how did NHRA miss on getting hundreds of new racers? I thought
they developed an 1/8 miles series just for the disenfranchised crate motor cars. 92.4 % are in Division 2. Your logic escapes me. |
