Junior Stock vs IHRA Pure Stock

X-man you said what you really felt in your last sentence and you are NOT ALONE !
I get and understand that sentiment.

I am not talking about a new Class.
Rename Pure Stock to Junior Stock and make some rule adjustments.

I do see brand competition coming back with GM, Ford and Chrysler..
Hell add BMW and Mercedes to the list of cars..
Should add the new ricers to compete since they are the new breed of cars.

New vs old vs Ricer vs American

The market is there already and add the history of barn hidden Junior Stockers will revive the lives of the cars.

Maybe NHRA will combine Stock and SS..

It is my opinion you will get a whole new breed of people into Junior Stock and bring back what we had.

Plus it would create a big upgrade market for those cars to compete and meet class rules.

Junior Stock was affordable and really competitive.
You had huge rivalries for each of the classes.

Just think we need to rethink some of the rules to make it work.
Plus you can drive your car to the track.

With all the nostalgia for Junior Stock I sense a movement to get back to Junior Stock racing !!

Just think you can use real street gas again !!
