"WHAT IF" part 4
 

First thing is I want to thank Kenny Mile and the Class racer Forum for giving Alex Denysenko and my self the oppertunity to use this forum to start this project. The association does not yet have its permanet name but as soon as its decided on we will have a web site up within approx. 2 to 3 days and we will start to post info under the new part if this forum for Racing associations. We have a few title sponsors on line already and we will make this a real member association and anouncements on these sponsors at a later post.. We are planning to have Super Stock, Stock, A modified/comp. style eliminator similar to the old modified classes if possable, a quick 32 Super Stock and a quick 32 Stock with a CIC as NHRA,s comp. Also included is TOP Stock, and Jr. Stock heads up as per current rules. Part of the show will include the NSS cars also known as Nostalgia Super Stock from the NMCA races. There will be NO .90 classes so to allow time for qualifying and time trials without sitting at your trailers all day. If you run Top Stock and Jr. Stock you will be allowed to run in the regular stock eliminator as these cars will have thier own index without having to change wt. or the minor changes allowed fot these heads up catagories as long as the extra enty fee is paid. We are looking at a well known track (We hope.....Large and 1st class) at the moment but rest assured we will be on the west coast, South, North, and mid West for 2011 with a 4 to 6 race series. Thats about all I have right now and will let you know more as things come together. Right now we are possably leaning toward calling the association the "UNITED CLASS RACERS ASSOCIATION" that Myron Piatek suggested but that is not set in stone yet. Any comments good or bad will be taken under discussion. Remember this is all just coming together and all is not set in stone yet. By the way..... some TV rights are being looked at also so at last the sportsman racer will recieve some exposure that they deserve.. Terry Bell

Sounds great!

Stocker's etc. need to get out from under the racing associations and come into their own. I got tired of paying my dues and entry fee's to support the pro's and so did others, that's how NSS got so big. Now we are the top draw and make a little but more important we have fun!

Wish you guys a lot of success.

I applaud this effort and hope like hell that it's successful! The Stock and Super Stock racers have put up with too much abuse for far too long from the "HRA's," and it's time for a change. I firmly believe that.
At this point, I have only one suggestion. I'm not sure you need the "United" in the name of this new organization. "CLASS RACERS' ASSOCIATION" says it all; it's obvious that if you're putting on races as an organzation, you're "united." No need to point it out.... Plus, it was "born" on the Class Racers' Bulletin Board.


Less is more, when it comes to acronyms, and "CRA" is more succinct, and wastes no letters. Besides, it sets it apart from the "NHRA," "IHRA," both of which use 4 letters.

Long live the CRA! I hope it's as successful and long-lived as the NRA and the SAE!

Just my 2-cents.... with apologies to my Mopar buddy, Myron.

Re: "WHAT IF" part 4
 

will this association be for door cars/altereds or will Comp rails be allowed???Comp 387

Re: "WHAT IF" part 4
 

Bill I couldn't agree with you more on shortening the title, but how about one letter better by leaving the "S" out of RACERS', and just calling it "CLASS RACER ASSOCIATION"?

Terry let me be the first from the west to say I love this ideal, and I wish 2011 were next year...if not this coming summer! I sure would work on bringing my Cavalier to any race I could read about (especially within 500 miles of Phoenix). Keep us posted!!!

Re: "WHAT IF" part 4
 

Any existing comp class car will be allowed plus we hope to encourage the older full bodied modified type cars (Modified production, etc.) to come back out or be constructed new.
