Crate Motors in Stock Eliminator

Larry, all of that is still on IHRA’s website, linked below. Also Danny Waters will be one of D2 techs at the Baby Gators, he’d be a good one to ask. Another super guy who may have more insight is Jim Woods.

They run all the IHRA classes at Canadian Events.
Including Pure Stock...

Still get emails clarifying a rule or combination.

Hoping one day to see them implemented for all the Opens..
IHRA Classes will add to the car count and revenue.

Maybe if NHRA moved them to the Exhibition section among the Jets, Rockets and Wheelstanders people will be happy.

I say bring on the crate motors! It is no different then GT or FGT.

Now that the "damage is done" 1. do the crate motors keep their IHRA indexes that are slower ? 2 . What if the massive influx of crate motor stockers repositions you on the ladder making it harder to avoid a "heads up" 3. if they keep their IHRA indexes they may be #1 qualifiers more easily !! Time to let the Kelvinators get their cams back and the mopars their intakes , and get out your 85b to mill off your intake flanges on the aftermarket heads to be legal CC!!

crate motor and pure stock rules and indexes are allowed in NMRA and NMCA competition for their stock superstock combo class.Again it is put into place to attract more drivers to events.There is only a handful or less of those cars still out there in competitive trim.I ran F and G crate motor for several years in two different cars.Those days are gone as well as most of the purpose built crate motor cars.Some of us build cars to take advantage of racing at multiple events under multiple sanctioning bodies.There is no threat from these cars at Opens.If its on the books,let them run their cm and pure stock setup.My current ride fits D/Pure Stock, Super Stang, Sportsman footbrake and eventually with the right amount of funds,H/SA.

Concur..thanks for the Post.
Still PS and have not moved up to Full Stock.
Raced at VMP Carolina Class Racers Meet.
It was so cool to see old friends.

Third of the cars (25) were CM and my PS...so we are all out there.
I would like to be invited to the Opens.
The Association races, NMRA and NMCA welcome all.
I would accept the Indexes being lowered 3 tenths and use race gas.

If IHRA, NHRA and AHRA were smart.
They should work with these Associations.
Make them part of the Points Chase.

NHRA could repurpose HP ratings fitting CM and PS in the current A-Z class structure.
My F/PS would run P, Q, R/SA.
It would create more options for later model cars to run N/SA or lower classes.
