NMCA sealed motor class?

Randy, I tend to agree with your opinion. Econo Mod rules would allow use of an already built car that was a legal SS or Stocker. Sealed motor class needs construction of a car with its own set of specs. You could not just change motors and move to Stk or SS without more money on chassis.
Also the sealed motor does prevent someone from experimenting with settings, fuel, cams etc but this could be the cost saver area.

The DR525 class rules were written with Stockers in mind. It wouldn't take much to convert one. In fact, the two front runners this year were Camaros built at the COPO build center (CRC).

So are they "Cheap entry point"? Is there a contact person that helps get the car built for you?
Stockers may have tubs correct? These cannot. can have springs moved but not rails as I understand.

If you are asking about the CRC cars there were still a few available a while back (2013-15 models). You can contact copopartsdirect.com to find out what's left. I have been told that there will be no 2016 CRC cars.

As far as the rules go, it would probably be best to direct your questions to the NMCA if you are thinking about running a car.

I investigated cost and hear CRC car can run 55,000. Then buy a motor,etc. Sorry but don't think this seems like "entry level".
