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)!!!
