I just hope I don't have to put neon lights under my Camaro to be legal after a rules change.

Hello all Pure Stock Racers

Send me your email.
Going to start a database of Racers.
Same goes for anyone considering building a Pure Stocker

Or anyone wanting to have their Foreign or Domestic Car Certified to run Pure Stock.

Eventually going to create an online magazine of sorts.
Small at first and let the layers build over time.

This is going to be a long and sustained to get more and more people interested.

Going to be fun !!

I have pitted next to the ricer crowd at bracket races and they are very passionate about their style of racing. It certainly isn't keeping their cars pure stock. They don't want to deal with rules and certainly not teardowns. Bolt on a turbo,intercooler,methanol injection and some good electronic control and hang on. You won't see them on the track in a 15 second car. Their way is more bang for the buck. Good luck.

That is what I have seen around here at the Friday night TNTs.
For sure the dealing with rules part.

I sometimes take the PT cruiser to grudge race night at Gainesville, $20 to race all night. You would think that would bring in the fart can kids but it doesn't, there may be 10 cars there but that's the max.
The fact is that the last few generations are not interested in drag racing and most don't even know what it is.
Nope, just give them a computer,a $500.00 phone and a Mall and that's all they need.
Sad.

One Friday night at Tulsa, at the test n tune deal, I was in the staging lanes next to a Honda, goofy wing on the deck lid (FWD car), clear tail lights, graphics, etc. he was showing his time slip to another kid. I heard him say "15.34? These clocks are screwed up! Everybody knows this is a nine second car!" Lmao!
Only in his wettest dreams. LOL
Not many run like Cary's.
