Re: Crate Motor Class

Re: Crate Motor Class
Thanks! We have worked real hard on it the last 9 years to make it what it is hence why im trying to voice my opinion. With the driving costs of fuel, parts, life in general its not easy to swallow the fact that we are being told we need a whole new combo to come play or dont play at all when at the end of the day its just numbers...numbers on parts which will create more numbers (racers) on the qualifying sheets. All theres old 60s parts are drying up not to mention that they are 50 years old and junk. Its a dying class...there isnt any teenagers that even understand what a stocker or super stocker really is...they understand John Force....nitro...pokemon, video games. They go get a hotdog when stock is called to the lanes. They use the bathroom when Suoer Stock is called. And lets not even talk about what they think when a throttle stop car goes down the track they think its broke. We need to have a more open mind about this instead of being so bias. Since ive started ive got alot of younger guys involved. I just talked a real close friend into buying a car and building a crate combo....bought the car...bought some parts...IHRA pulls out and hes stuck building a 305 or nothing at all now. 1 person doesnt seem like an issue but hes not alone. And every year that goes buy theres less and less cars showing up....guys get old and retire, some god forbid pass on while all these IHRA racers are sitting around with their thumbs in their rear waiting on approval from the gods. We just want to race and have a place to feel acepted.

Re: Crate Motor Class
Shame to have your class done away with like that. Last time I tried to run an IHRA race, I told my friends "This deal is dying." Never did get my check cashed.
Last time I looked Nitro Joe showed more than 50 cars in my class alone (SS/JA), more than all the crate motor cars.

Re: Crate Motor Class
Tony, I cannot understand why you would not take a year and make your car legal for NHRA.
Along with the CanAm series, there are are two "Opens" close by and several races in the North Eastern US. If you wanted to attend every one of them, you would not have enough time in the season.
