I remember post Junior Stock all the tracks had weekly Stock and Super Stock racing before Bracket Racing became the rage.
Think this is an opportunity to recruit the new bread of cars with Junior Stock of old. I know many of the cars are out there and serviceable enough to bring back to life.
Considering all the new aftermarket body parts available and the rise of restoration shops all over the nation.
Pure Stock a good class and renaming Junior Stock should bring benefits.
Yet still using the existing Pure Stocker rules.
Renaming it Junior Stock would revive the nostalgia for the class and bring the past and future together.
FWIW PS is a more fun class than Stock as your anore stressing the platforms as much.
How many Stockers today can you put back into Street Condition without a major overhaul?
But another advantage you can move a Stocker into Junior Stock using the less expensive Pure Stocker Valve Trane.
Tech Inspection would be less time consuming.
Except maybe the Camshaft requirement.
This could be solved by having the Cam Builders Certify their cams are Junior Stock Legal.
IHRA ..think about reviving Junior Stock !!
Think you will get a lot of converts..
