CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Internet rumors-what happens if IHRA folds?

The whole idea of Crate Motor, and I guess Pure Stock, was to make it less expensive to participate in class racing while still maintaining blueprint specs to go by, like the conventional Stock classes have. Obviously it has its disadvantages. But many Crate Motor cars can be converted to regular Stock or Super Stock with not much more than an engine change. Unfortunately, it is the most expensive "part" of the car. Higher costs overall and more time off needed for the longer NHRA events would likely limit my participation there.
