Maybe they will if enough of us ask!
Ed please help and spread the word.

Fwiw....one of the other blogs was about the future of Stock.
Well this is one answer to save Stock bringing back Pure Stock.
Use or mod the IHRA rules to make it better.

There is a building interest and get a good bit of emails.
Every track I go to racers are talking about Pure Stock.
They want to run Stock and not enough budget or time for a full Stocker.
Me I like the economy of the class. Such as using pump high test.
Putting the car back on the street is fairly easy.

Two weeks ago at Empire Raceway four of us met and had a great conversation!
Two were building new Pure Stockers.
Got to meet the owner of the rocking quick A/PS Belvedere.

One last thing.
Stock has a following and racers that want to compete.
Some of us can put a little in at a time to make it more competitive.
I raced my 1995 ImpalaSS in ECIRS for several years.
Got it to run quick enough to run under the index.

I did not have room for a trailer at home.
So drove the car to the tracks changing tires.

This is a great opportunity waiting to happen.
Especially the young kids with the hot new cars.

All of us Pure Stocker racers..please add your voice.
Send a letter to NHRA asking them to add Pure Stock.

Then let's kick some butt!
