Re: Crate Motor Class
Sounds like it might be getting close to "Popcorn Time".

Assuming your idea took off, how long until your new car stockers are just as, um, "stock" as Stock Eliminator? It's the nature of the beast. The more rules there are, the more "innovation" there will be! I've been a fan of Stock Eliminator (and a participant for a few years in the 90's) since the early 70's. I don't agree with the way it has gone. But that's what it is! I don't participate! I would never expect it to change to suit me! That's ridiculous! |

Re: Crate Motor Class
Mini tubed cars are not stock , 10.5 tire cars are not stock and crate motor cars are not stock. The first two can fit super stock and crate motors can go play in the brackets.

I am sure the rules would morph! Most for safety reasons. Been asked many times by a Racer how to run in Pure Stock. Was making good headway too getting combinations certified. IHRA put a stop to it limiting it to 2005 and earlier. All the local tracks are running them anyway in brackets. Seems to me this is low hanging fruit NHRA can capitalize on. I am business guy with a very successful record with every company I worked for. Plus 25 years in Business with my own company. Played and formed several competitive soccer teams and created an entire soccer league. Seems to me creating Show Room Stock would energize Stock. It was how we got the Jenkins, Stickers, Bannons, and others that built the sport. We were also impressionable kids with all the hot cars available back then. Seems it has been forgotten how it got all started! Otherwise I am good with it if it does not go in my favor! D Last edited by Dan Fahey; 02-18-2018 at 12:15 AM. |

What % of cars, that were running Crate Motor classes recently, had taken full advantage of the rules? What % were otherwise NHRA-legal cars that just had an engine swap? If you put a NHRA-legal 9" tire on a car that still had it's IHRA-allowed mini-tubs and relocated springs, would it have an advantage over a NHRA Stocker? Is it correct that you can build certain NHRA-legal Stocker engines almost entirely out of aftermarket parts, aside from the intake manifold? (approved replacement block, oil pan, crankshaft, rods, pistons, heads, carburetor/EFI, & ignition, plus all the traditionally replaced components like headers, cam, valve covers, rocker arms etc.). |
