Pure Stock at divisionals, why not?

cicero819 · 08-04-2011, 08:35 AM

Why couldn't NHRA allow a new class that could be introduce as Pure Stock. This would allow new blood to be introduce to racing at a divisional level. Pure Stock would what the automobile came with, you race with. I know that many would say that's why we have sportsman in bracket racing but for me it would be a way to introduce new racers(young and old) to our sport, it sure as hell would be better than snowmobiles and Legend cars that NHRA wanted to introduce at divisionals. I just wanted to see, how many felt the same way. Claude Ruel

Just what we need, MORE classes. More classes to be teched, classified, adjusted, and complained about. There are more than enough now.

Dave, you're right, payouts should be increase to pay down more spots, to help racers. We could take a lesson, from the Modified and Super Modified running at Osweego Speedway N.Y and let individual who want to contribute to certain class to add some money for class winner and so on. I know that Gary Richard doesn't have to invest in drag racing but he does, mostly because he cares, one of the reasons whenever I have a chance and I need something electronic, I buy at PC. Richards and sons. Claude

It will be a cold day in Hell before I would pay more than what these chizzlers are charging
us to enter div./nats.,to get better payouts.
And Gary is a bisnessman,and a very smart one.He will continue to sponsor the Div. 1
series as long as the bottom line dictates.His business will thrive with or without drag racing.The only product NHRA has is an ageing constituancy pushing a hasbeen product
that they are slowly choking financially.

I believe that NHRA should have some pure stock classes. But, only have three or four classes, put a year limit on it 82? and newer American built, RWD cars. Some people want the new FX cars in there own class, I am one of them. But, then the main problem that I see is there is no real tech people anymore that can check the engines under the rules that would be required for the class. I can see it, Unleaded legal gas, full muffler system and DOT drag radials. It could open the market to new companies on a sportsman level. Just a thought.
