Re: Pure Stock at divisionals, why not?
 

Mike,
I'm with you on the Indy thing. When I was a kid every year daddy would say we are going to the Gators this year. Something always happened, and never got to go. As a kid I always wanted to run INDY once. Everyone that has been says WHY?? I guess the same reason a dog licks his nuts CAUSE HE CAN. I don't know why. Have you ever listened to people talking about Bonneville salt flats. Same thing. It's INDY.
I guess my bucket list will include That trip to the Gators we never took and a trip to INDY.
By the way I'm 47

Quote Mike Taylor:I've been watching this post and my question is what is wrong with the pure stock that is already in existence in IHRA and has been for many years?

Mike Ihra brought in P/S due to a dying Stock Elim. class.For IHRA it helped save it.
NHRA has enough eligible cars.Realisticly a car running with an engine it never came with,having an aluminum manifold and Holley carb. and HP factor plucked out of thin air
(sorta like the CJs and DP cars) really isn't in the spirit of Stock Elim.And I know,the CJs and DP cars.Another fiasco.One fiasco is enough.

we talking about Pure stock Ed , i believe you just described IHRA's crate motor class with the holly and alluminum intakes

Re: Pure Stock at divisionals, why not?
 

Micheal, I wish that IHRA would be a force to be recon with, here in the east, but unfortunately they aren't. Pure stock in IHRA form, is a very good entry level and also great for budget minded racers but our choice are limited. Big difference between crate motor classes and pure stock, thanks Danny. I will continue to push the idea around, mostly now that I'm retired or is that retarded, I'm never sure which. I'm still working on my Camaro stocker but I'm feeling a pull on the wheel, everytime I pass by a Ford dealership, and see their Mustang 5.0 or convertible, sitting in the parking lot, calling my name and begging me to take them to the races.

You're right Danny.None the less it's more classes that will still require tech involvement to keep the "crafty" guys at bay.

Chip,
Are you coming to Clay City? I not sure if I get to go or not what little money I have is setting here in the shop in floor and shelfs instead of my bifold, waiting for them to come and pickup.

Check out the Dutch Classic advertisement in National Dragster! Nown if you guys didn't believe that some people are paying attention to our forum, look at what Div 1 has decided to include in their program " American STOCK Class! Sponsored by PC Richards.com. Heads up racing! I've peppered NHRA enough that someone is listening! Now my next problem, anyone has a spare Challenger available.lol I'll probably rent one from some rental agency, anybody know a company that rents Mustangs or Challenger in PA. Thanks. Claude Ruel p.s. see Ed, if you try, someone might be listening.lol

That hurt

Re: Pure Stock at divisionals, why not?
 

DUTCH CLASSIC, AMERICAN MUSCLE STOCK CLASS. This could be a lot more fun than watching non automobile related racing. How many are ready to use their Muscle Cars for what there suppose to be use for. I hope that the new muscle car owners aren't of the same breed that buys Hummers 1 and never to be taken it out in the dirt afraid to scratch or get dirt on their freshly waxed paint. Claude Ruel

Sounds good Claude !
Any chance the rules for this race are posted somewhere? I would love to review them.
