I dont see it happening on the NHRA level. There are already too many classes in sportsman and they are trying to reduce the amount of sportsman at the nationals. Maybe they could be run at some of the more successful association races like the ECSSA or the CCRA.or possibly at national opens.

How about a "United States Top Stock Association"?

It could get started with some four car match races. You could do it at any track and pretty much any event. Do it all year and have a season ending invitational for the badest of the bad.

Good afternoon to all,
After thinking of this most of the morning - and I know this idea is really far off the radar, but like Mike suggested, to have it at or in conjunction with an Association race. What do you think the chances of a Top Stock and Jr. Stock - stand alone race? This way racers aren't going to have to "set up " there're cars for Heads Up and then switch back to Bracket Mode to run an eliminator ? Yeah - I know , it's out there.
I've trying to come up with various ideas that would help but its tuff , as everyone well knows!
Then maybe have " Bottom Stock" to help fill in the gaps in time.
Keeping you in mind here Billy.

Respectfully,
Henry Kunz 1534 H/SA

If it does come back the rules need to be strictly enforced. The IHRA rules were bought and sold to the fast burn folks and later sold to the LS crowd. All of us non players lost interest, Jerry and I included.

Love to see this make a come back. Probably a last ditch effort for the go fast guys. But it sure seems like people don't want to break away from there normal Routine to make it happen from the outside looking in. They get excited about doing it once a year at indy. Why not make every race a indy? Especially being that's even getting taken away.

Top Stock would have to be contested at National Opens with no AHFS. We could do it second round of qualifying. Ladder based of of first round of qualifying. Winners race each other third round of qualifying. If Q4 is not available than the fastest wins. Of course the track would be asked to let us run at back of qualifying or the front of round next. So no lolligaging.

For sure don't let those pesky LS cars in. At 26 years, they're too new and modern!
