The number one comment made preventing people from building.
No IHRA tracks nearby but lots of NHRA.
Most of the Pure Stockers are in the east because there are enough IHRA tracks.
The number would easily multiply if NHRA would allow Pure Stock.

Well that's true of course, people aren't going to build a car they can't race within a reasonable distance. I like numbers, let's look at how many PS participants in each division.

If we call Div 1, 2, and 9 the East, those 3 divisions accounted for:
D1 - 4 in 2014, 3 in 2015
D2 - 4 in 2014, 5 in 2015
D9 - 5 in 2014, 3 in 2015

I see one racer listed in 2 east coast divisions for 2014, 2 for 2015, which makes the total for the entire east coast:
12 racers in 2014, 9 racers in 2015

OK, if that's the hotbed where most PS are, let's check other areas where there are IHRA tracks/races:
D3 - 2 in 2014, 0 in 2015
D4 - 0 in 2014, 1 in 2015
D6 - 0 in 2014, 0 in 2015

I just don't see the numbers, even in places where anyone could run PS right now.
