James why the dirge man ?
You do not speak for NHRA..
I am entitled to my POV and will express it..!
AND do so not making provocative comments ..

BTW what do you mean about Street Eliminator Cars?

I KNOW NHRA is thinking about it !
Introducing IHRA cars to an NHRA Meet would help NHRA affiliated TRACK OWNERS earn more money.

Watch it happen again !!

Its funny how they wont bark at a dodge neon, caravan, or a caddilac qualifying #1 (not thats theres anything wrong with that i think its great) but they turn their nose up at an IHRA crate motor car that visually looks identical to whats in the NHRA lanes. The casting number on the head is different, has an aluminum intake and a 750 carb and its kryptonite to an NHRA racer because its not "traditional". I think we are forgetting that even though it goes against what out "stocker" four-fathers put forward its still a bracket race. I just wish you NHRA guys would accept us. We are good people. LOL

Those cars fit their published rules. Crate motor cars & pure stock cars do not. NHRA did have Pure Stock several years ago. And, like IHRA, had so few cars in those classes they dropped them. Still not enough of them running to bother with.

But that is not today.
Today there are CM PS and GT.
We represent half the cars competing.
Hell. Stock racers are raging for Roller Liftiers
A new change. Oh my !

You may have misunderstood my statement but I am not degrading any of these cars. Practically every one of the ones I've looked at have always been real nice cars. They were built by a given set of rules just as traditional stockers. However, as I stated earlier with the way tracks flip from one sanction to another I personally would not build one. I also don't see NHRA allowing these cars to run anytime in the foreseeable future, just my opinion of course.
In my area these are a lot of these cars and I have a tremendous amount of respect for all the guys that run them also.

Dan, NHRA does not care if you never race with them. Not enough of you guys to worry about, and don't hold your breath for them to add more classes for older cars. They don't care.
