Dead-on!

Michael, That works for you, but not everyone can barrow a car.
I own an NHRA-legal Stocker. I haven't raced it in a number of years, but may take it out a couple times next year (with a For Sale sign on it) I bought & built a crate motor car because I choose to run IHRA. If I cared to run NHRA, I would either race my other car, or put a 'traditional' motor in the Volare. NHRA has "borrowed" plenty of IHRA ideas already. The organizations don't have to be the same. If NHRA allowed crate motors, they'd pick up 10 cars, and lose 15-20 cars from guys who don't want to race against them. Let them do their own thing.
