Pure Stocker Thread
 

Wonder how many racers are running Pure Stock.
The rules are very similar to late 70's rules.

Like the fact I do not have to add a Roll Bar and can run pump gas.

Very few acording to the Qualifying Sheets. Realize that this is only an IHRA Class and that eliminates a lot of the Country. And not many racers want to build for a class that doesn't fit NHRA. .

Dan, I had a dream that NHRA would re-introduce Pure Stock at Divisional events to help grass roots get involve back into Drag Racing but all for nothing as they don't care and are probably thinking of a way to get rid of class racing as we're speaking. Pure stock is were you would learn to build a real affortable race car. CR

Precisely why I'm glad that IHRA is starting to expand out west. Today's Stockers would outrun the Super Stockers of the 70's and '80's!. Index reductions, changing altitude correction factors to emulate super class cars, the increased entry fees & registration costs, and the changes that have benefitted more so the faster class stockers than the slower ones, and taking away aviation fuel from our allowable fuel choices didn't help matters either!

I can't believe that here in Az., where we used to be able to enjoy (no matter where in D7 we lived), five divisionals withing 550 miles from home...now you either have to live in 'Vegas, or possibly metro LA., to enjoy that pleasure, otherwise be willing/able to travel to Denver or Ennis (because they'd be easier/quicker to get to), than Fallon or Sonoma if you live in much of Arizona, or say hi to Oregon, or Idaho if you live in either Northern Cal., or Nevada?

I still like NHRA, just have a much harder time affording them, and being competitive with them (altitude tracks are out, now)!!!

Aviation gas ? ? ? Where have I been hiding ? ? I thought its been at least 30 years since we've been allowed to use it ..............

Re: Pure Stocker Thread
 

If you want be the class quickie a pure stocker can get spendy almost as fast as a real stocker.
Machine tools really don't care what they are cutting on. Ofcource if you just want to bracket race less is required.

Re: Pure Stocker Thread
 

I like the idea but it's not really something a West coast racer can get involved with.

Re: Pure Stocker Thread
 

Yeah, I like the fact that the PS class can use any tire and pump gas.

That makes my Mustang a good D.O.T. bracket racer as well. Our local track has street tire racing on Sat. Nights, so it can be used in different classes and not have to change anything.

My car will also be legal in the NMCA EFI Rumble class as well. :) (although the .500 pro tree start will be hard to master)


I would love to see Pure Stock in NHRA, but sadly, that's not going to happen.
However, that's not to stop another racing organization out there from developing a class like PS. (NMCA - maybe ??)

Re: Pure Stocker Thread
 

I ran a car in IHRA pure stock and my gas had to pass tech just like everyone else!!

Lyn were you allowed 9 x 30 tires and bolt on traction device ? I don't have a up to date rule book.
