Re: Crate Motor Class
I hate to break it to you guys but Stock eliminator doesn't need to be saved, IHRA does.

Re: Crate Motor Class
Ken I race a lot and I can tell you in division 3 alone we have at least 60 to 80 stockers at a race and Hell our combo races at Beach Bend its nothing to have 50 stock and Super Stockers. IHRA is Dying crate motors are not wanted or needed in NHRA may as well build a bracket car . We have too many classes in Stock as it is

Re: Crate Motor Class
Jan. 2009 was the first post. The "higher up" may not have been as high as they thought or it takes 9 years to make it through the red tape. I think you CM guys might want to keep up on the IHRA schedules.

Re: Crate Motor Class
There ya go. Nine SS cars last time I went to an IHRA race. No cars, and the purse cut back so far because of it, I loaded up and left. That was a few years ago. I'm surprised they are still around. I guess they are still around.

Re: Crate Motor Class
IHRA has lost their relevance, shame because there were and are a few good souls left. Had a lot of fun running the races and enjoyed the fact that we had 3-4 majors and all the divisional races within an 8 hour drive. It was a great time and we would easily have at least half a dozen and maybe even a dozen cars in our convoy coming down from Ontario. The beginning of the end of the loss of class run offs, then they virtually turned their back on the Ohio/Michigan/Ontario corridor for what ever reasons and bam we no longer have the excitement we once had.
Nostalgia!

Re: Crate Motor Class
It would be really interesting to see how fast the Traditional Stockers would be, as they're converted to Crate Motor Stockers. Racers by nature will exploit the rules, take advantage of softer indexes and lower HP ratings to make their cars more competitive. My advice to Crate Motor Racers is, "be careful what you wish for." You might see your combo hit harder than you ever thought possible. It'd be cheaper to build a stocker combo, than to try and keep up with some of the "wallets" in stock eliminator. It's not gonna be Easier or Cheaper to run a Crate Motor Combo...Guaranteed !
