The IHRA Pure Stockers in their group
The purestockdrags.com guys in their class
...and also the IHRA/NHRA Stock Eliminator racers.

That would be cool to see a bunch of race cars that closely resemble their factory built appearance. ( instead of a bunch of giant, goofy, aftermarket hoodscoop racecars)


I myself have thought about starting a stock appearance race for 1982 and newer domestic brand factory performance machines.
Loosely based on the F.A.S.T. series but only open to 1982 and newer.
Actually with a little planning.. the purestockdrags racers can put on DOT's instead of street identical Coker Tires..
IHRA can provide HP and Weights .

Would be simple, they should have most of them.

It would be cool to see a Supercharged Studebaker running down a new Camaro.

Or a classic race between a 1967 Bonne 428/376 3-Duce against a 67 GTO.

It could spur the restoration industry to make a few changes to their Rest'o's.
Get a few of their Garage Queens exercised..

The F.A.S.T. guys.. well they are so far out of Pure Stock...
