Why can stock be really stock?

Pure stock should be no slick, tire size that that the model came with and so on. NHRA could profit on the long term with new blood bringing their new 5.0 Mustang, don't forget all those 300hp plus v6 out there in the form of Challengers, Mustangs, Camaro's and all new Trucks with the new ecoboost 6 from Ford, I can see many young men and young women involve at that stage. Just my two cents but it's been awhile sine we've seen so many new cars with much horspower available. Claude

I agree Claude.
In my opinion, this is the most exciting time in automotive history for gearheads. Power, safety and comfort are easy now.

Now that Ma Mopar is making a decent power level with their newest V-6, all 3 companies make a cool V-6.

It would be a shame if one or both sanctioning bodies would pass on an oppurtunity to get owners of the V-6 cars involved in class racing.

The 5.0 Mustang is smoking hot right now with the Ford groupies.
Amatuer drivers can get into a new 5.0 Stang and run mid 13's easy.
In IHRA Pure Stock trim I wonder how easy it would be to run 11's ?

Alan, let me borrow a quote from Julius Ceasar, great minds think a like but fool's seldom differ.lol I think Billy Nees started a thread on some pretty neat combination. Glad to see that a breath of fresh air blowing in the stocker wings. Claude
