Proposed idea for the IHRA Stock GT class....just an idea to make it more interesting

[Dave Ribeiro]

Don't you guys think they have enough classes Now ??? .... I agree with Terry on this one ....

[Eric Kitzan]

I think the GT cars in SS are O.K. but stock should be left alone. I think it would kind of cheapen the class.

Hmmm. Alphabet soup class racing. Ever notice what happens when you try to be everything to everyone and let everyone do whatever they want? Eventually, you won't have enough windshield to put all the numbers and letters for the classes on.

Yep......If it wasnt for guys like you and Hank IHRA would really be lost. Hang in there Danny.

Everyone made good points. Thanks for the input.

Of course the whole idea I presented will never happen.

I personally like the body styles of the 1980 and later cars, (and they are cheap to buy) but I am a carb and automatic guy so anything after 1985, well I am s.o.l.....LOL

My guess is things will stay the same as they are now....oh well.

I would like any year body with 79 and older motor, any corporate combo

Don't forget about Jim Woods too. I sure am glad he came back to work with us.

I didnt forget him Danny...I just didnt think he worked a lot of races? I mentioned him in another post. It takes a class racer to be a good class legal tech guy. Keep up the good work.

Perhaps they do have too many classes (although I think it was overkill when NHRA dropped the fwd class count from 16 to 4, and then just boosted it back to 5), but I know you V8 rwd guys/gals don't care about us fwd racers (have you ever???), so that's why that statement was made (kind of reminds me about a certain political party who doesn't seem to care about "MADE IN THE USA", by allowing our liveable wage manufacturing jobs to go overseas!!! However, since they bent the rules over the years (from the 70's), to allow 2steps, wheelie bars (amongst other things), they could at least allow an option of converting a fuel injection system to a carbureted system (as long as the year, type, and engine said fuel system was in production would be known, so as to know it wasn't an aftermarket hop-up). I don't mind the class structure as it is (and I was ok with doing away with the fwd classes too, since my car could run V/SA), but it would be an optional improvement for fwd fuelie cars the same as wheelie bars are to you wheelstanding stockers...my .02 (doubled).
