Re: Crate Motor Class
Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't the factory stock guys allowed to put a different year engine in their cars now? How is that not the same as "Stock GT".

Re: Crate Motor Class
Only for the Showdown. My understanding is that they will not be able to run in this configuration in Stock Eliminator.

Re: Crate Motor Class
Only for the shootout races. No longer a part of stock.

Giving you grief with nonsense comments. You made a comment about spending what you could to race. To race people have to make sensible choices. Pure Stock was a cost effective way for many to get back to racing Stock. CM was a cost effective way to use current similar available engines. GT was a cost effective way to use existing Engines in a similar body. NHRA SS does it...but not Stock. All affordable solutions or upgrades. d |

Re: Crate Motor Class
If those classes are so good for the sport why was the participation so low? Why is the IHRA out of business?
Petition the IHRA to carry your classes in a big bracket only forum. Run it as a big combo. Cheap and fun for everyone. Why would they say no? You guys as racers take care of tech. Everyone wins. The NHRA has too many classes in stock. We should go to 1 pound breaks and combine sticks and auto’s if they won’t do that, no reason to ask for anything else. Quote:

You asked a "why" question that was answered dozens of time. If NHRA had too many classes how come they added FS? What do you mean by too many classes? Who determines that number? What have you done to petition NHRA? Nobody complained there were too many classes with FS? |

Re: Crate Motor Class
I would also like to know what this means, what exactly constitutes "too many classes"? How would a race weekend be better with the classes as you have described?

I mean less car classes for more heads up racing. I’m not sure who determines it. Just my opinion. I don’t have to petition NHRA: I have a car that fits in a class they run. Other then the guys that lost a place to race nobody is asking NHRA to add more classes.
