Pure Stock at divisionals, why not?

IHRA already has Pure Stock. Just support the races in your region.

Robert and Jeff you both get what I'm trying to get at. New cars in the lane instead of F%$#snowmobiles. Terry with your vast knowledge of rules and Tech I know that you could come up with a minimum inspection for new cars. After my last visit a Lebannon for the divisional I was worried by the amount of Grey Hair racers(which I have also my members card) out there. We need young blood to continue to have drag racing viable and thriving. NHRA could have four classes and that would suffice. I would buy a new Mustang 5.0 in two seconds if they this.All the other sanctioning bodies are doing it, attracting the new racers, I'm sure we could do just as good of a job, Remember "what wins on Sunday sell's on Monday " is still applicable these days. Wouldn't you want to see new Challengers, Mustangs and Camaros v8 and v6 with a minimum of 300hp in the lanes instead of Snowmobiles? We could allow some Civics(the 55 chev of this generation) and Toyotas Corollas S with their 200 plus hp engines at the track, just watch the fans in the stands, they would watch it. Let's bring back fun in racing, the cars are there, they just need a place to run. Claude Ruel

I don't remember any fans in the stands for the imports a few years ago and they had some fast ones. Of course they blew up every other pass.

DUTCH CLASSIC, AMERICAN MUSCLE STOCK CLASS. This could be a lot more fun than watching non automobile related racing. How many are ready to use their Muscle Cars for what there suppose to be use for. I hope that the new muscle car owners aren't of the same breed that buys Hummers 1 and never to be taken it out in the dirt afraid to scratch or get dirt on their freshly waxed paint. Claude Ruel
