Crate Motors in Stock Eliminator

[Matt Moran]

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.

I would love to run my 95 Mustang Pure Stocker at the NMCA events but because I like to enter 2 classes at the same event the only other category besides S3 that I could run in is Open Comp.

My weak little 14 second Pure Stocker does not like .500 Pro Tree starts

Very true.It is difficult to get the car to leave hard enough to overcome the pro tree.I was just testing at Byron Dragway to do just that.Smaller front tire and way up on the converter so far is getting me close enough for an NMRA event.But deep staging is a option per the rules at NMRA.
