I hope to see you at MP in June Mike. I am trying to get my rear setup finished and some testing done before mid June. If not, then I definitely want to head to the London track later in the year.

I was swapping out the rear in my 95 and had a small setback. The rear ABS sensors won't come out without destroying them, so it looks like new ones are 75 bucks each side.

On a positive note... I love the rear disk brake setup.
I can swap rears without opening up the brakes lines.
Plus, the calipers act as an axle retention device. (ask me how I know ...LOL )

Sounds good.
I knew about the UMTR @ OV and CC, but I was not aware there was an event for those @ Beech Bend.

I have another 95 GT that is identical to the automatic GT that I would love to build as a manual Pure Stocker if I ever upgrade the automatic car to NHRA Stock.

question? i assume that IHRA uses the same horsepower ratings as NHRA for they're pure stock class
unlike Phillip i wish there was more IHRA tracks in the northwest area to run not only Pure stock but some of the other classes IHRA offers. I think the closest right now is Ashcroft BC and i believe a track in Montana recently switched to IHRA?

In my case it is a different rating for the B-Body/ImpalaSS.

IHRA rating 295hp for Pure Stock
IHRA and NHRA 299hp for Stock.

Check with Mike Baker..

I know my 1995 Mustang 302 is NHRA rated @ 213 hp.

The IHRA rating for PS is 220.

If you think I am anti IHRA you don't know me very well,lol. I wish every track around here was IHRA. Although I may give NHRA another try now that Div6 has a director that seems to give a damn about the racers, Frank Nelson is trying to save the sinking ship that Jonathon abandoned and I think he has the fortitude to do it.
Now what class would my 65 Hemi Coronet run in pure stock?.......

My guess would be the fastest, or second fastest one, because I bet that cars a hauler!
That car is one of the top three on my if-money-were-no-object-what-car-would-I-race, list...the '68 Dodge Dart Hemi, and the '64 Plymouth Savoy, being the other two!

Malta, MT has an 1/8 mile, and Yellowstone Dragstrip in Acton (near Billings) that was an NHRA strip has new ownership and is now IHRA.
