If we call Div 1, 2, and 9 the East, those 3 divisions accounted for:
D1 - 4 in 2014, 3 in 2015
D2 - 4 in 2014, 5 in 2015
D9 - 5 in 2014, 3 in 2015

I see one racer listed in 2 east coast divisions for 2014, 2 for 2015, which makes the total for the entire east coast:
12 racers in 2014, 9 racers in 2015

OK, if that's the hotbed where most PS are, let's check other areas where there are IHRA tracks/races:
D3 - 2 in 2014, 0 in 2015
D4 - 0 in 2014, 1 in 2015
D6 - 0 in 2014, 0 in 2015

I just don't see the numbers, even in places where anyone could run PS right now.

Do no not know where you got the numbers.
I know two Pure Stockers are being built now.
Chris Kilrane just built a H/PS Mustang.
Few other Stocker racers have Pure Stockers as back up cars.

Check out the Pure Stock Photo gallery.
11 Pure Stockers show up at last years AutoMeter Class Nationals.
Pure Stock Drags.com group has ton of them that would fit in Pure Stock.

Getting NHRA to follow along.
IMHO a lot more racers will build a Pure Stocker.

As for the grumpy anti Pure Stock community.
They just have to get past the jealousy !
