Re: Question for the Super Stock Racer's
 

Jeff Taylor told me one time "don't pass a race track that is having a race you can race at to go to another race track that is having a race you can race at". So,..........................I guess whatever letter is in front of the HRA will do. I like them both.

Re: Question for the Super Stock Racer's
 

Many feel like IHRA's new, or added, classes are bogus too.

Re: Question for the Super Stock Racer's
 

What new classes? You mean that they actually have some separate classes for the new factory race cars, instead of forcing them to run against the traditional Stockers like NHRA? :confused:

Re: Question for the Super Stock Racer's
 

What new classes? Everything in the rulebook is 10-15 years old, or older. Except for the new FI classes for 2008-newer cars in Stock (which NHRA should have done).

Great minds think alike, Michael (we typed the same thing a minute apart).

Re: Question for the Super Stock Racer's
 

Crate motors, pure stock, etc.

I don't care, but I have heard some talk about them.

Re: Question for the Super Stock Racer's
 

If you want to talk about bogus classes nhra is the industry leader in that dept. Even though I love the new cars.

Re: Question for the Super Stock Racer's
 

All I'm saying is many think those classes are bogus, and don't care about running with them. It's just become bracket racing anyway with these bogus slow indexes.
I don't care myself, since I have pretty much retired, the NHRA races require buying more diesel than I care to anyway.

Re: Question for the Super Stock Racer's
 

Why are they bogus? Pure stock is theost legit class in all of class racing.

Beard Vs Carr :eek: and Beard gets the light!! :D
Mike, Looks like Beard got you by about 1 minute!!

Re: Question for the Super Stock Racer's
 

You would think those people would *rather* run IHRA, where they don't have to run heads-up against the new factory race cars. They also don't run heads-up against those "other" classes, either. It's also worth pointing out that there are 0 Pure Stockers in Div. 4, and only a couple of Crate Motor cars. It stands to reason that it's not the cars that are bogus, but the argument.

I used to work for IHRA back in the day, and all we heard was, "We'll come race with you if you change such-n-such." If that got changed, they still didn't come, and they came up with another excuse. The bottom line is that they simply didn't want to. Not enough people supported them when they were at their strongest, so now they're having to rebuild from a weaker position. NHRA *needs* competition to make them better.
