We checked the top 5 qualifiers for 1st round.. but did not check til 2nd round qualifying ..They were told (at the scales)to come to tech and be prepared to pull valve cover. In those 5 were 2 regular stockers......We checked carb #'s on the crate motors also...all were good...So if i was running stock , i would make sure i was right ,,,,,,,,,,,,,you never know when or what will be checked.....Also would like to thank the racers for their cooperation on this surprise check....

Let me see if I understand, a crate motor stocker is a bracket car but a late model Mustang with a 428, 351 etc.. is a "real" stocker.

Classracerfan the 428, 352 late model Mustangs are catalog crate motors GT/ SS cars. If you can not buy plates for the car with that engine it is not a stocker!

???
NHRA has them listing the 428 and 352 as legal Stockers.
Are these legal in IHRA ?
