Go look again, Cratecamaro and his buddy from Canada are the ones who brought out the useless name calling and insults. None before that.

I'm agreeing with you about who took this thread to name calling. I didn't bash crate motors or IHRA. The "other" Ed may have. I'm not going to go back and read them all to find out what he may have said What I said was why build a car that can only run with one sanctioning body (either one) then expect the other one to accommodate them. Makes no sense.

Chad said it all 8 pages ago. Maybee some people just arn't cut out for NHRA Stock. Doesn't mean you don't have a place to race in IHRA, and it doesn't mean that the performance and the specs are not equal in both. I don't think anybody said your not equal on that, but you guys keep saying we are uninformed about CM and think that anybody can make one fly (quote somebody on that). NO, we just don't want CM over in NHRA because we believe it will totally ruin the IDEA of stock. You guys have this preconceived notion that we don't want CM because we don't think your equal in building and tuning ability. Nobody said that. I don't care what it cost for an old core or if "some" parts are allowed replacements. It aint the same as a replacement engine in a body that never came with it. That ain't Stock, Thats Super Stock. If you only want to run IHRA and have enough races in your area that you can get away with a CM, Go ahead. But don't get mad at me for not appreciating your ride as much, or not wanting your theory in NHRA Stock.
