It doesn't matter how fast they might be if you don't run them heads-up! Several crate motor classes to choose from and crate motors can get HP added to them also!

Random thoughts...

NHRA skipped crate motors and went straight to crate cars.

I know some folks who had pestered IHRA about allowing crate motors in Super Stock GT many years ago, but the answer was always no.

It all seems kind of silly, after reading all of the "superceded parts" threads.

I agree with ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^! the powers that be should have taken the new cars and crate motor stuff and formed stock F/X. The aaa,bbb, and ccc classes crack me up. But I think that was done cause how the cj's, dp's and copo's are advertised and sold.

X-2 Brandon Why push it and cheat,,
Most of the crate motor cars and I say MOST have out of the box cyl. heads & intake
with a valve job, new springs and that's about it.
That's the good point,, Not spending $3,000 to have all the tricks done on a set of heads and intake.
That was Mike Baker & Terry Bell's idea of getting more people into stock with out
spending a ton of money.........
Remember crate motor's can get hit bye the Horse Power God .....
I know people cheat ! I picked up a crate motor car a couple year's ago from a Div. 3 racer and when we went through the car we found a delay box ! WHY !!!
These guy's are not racer's just cheaters !!!!
