History Repeats itself

For what it is worth:

I sent an e-mail last week to Mike Baker with IHRA about the 2011-2014 Mustang 3.7 V-6 in Pure Stock.

After finding out that the car is not currently allowed in PS, this is what I asked:

"O.K.
Thanks Mike.
Who would submit the specs ?
Would that be Ford Motor Co. ?
Or....does a racer submit those ?

Thanks,
Alan"

This was his response:

"Ford spec obtained from Ford. Sometimes an interested competitor makes it happen"

So it does appear that a class racer could submit engine specs to IHRA for consideration.

However....it appears to me that the sticky point about the new 3.7 V-6 in Pure Stock will be the variable can timing.
Is there any way IHRA can check that ?
