"That's silly, in my opinion. Why would they NOT want any particular kind of car to show up? More cars the better, regardless of type.

There are some combinations that could use some HP, but fast "NHRA" cars typically outqualify crate motor cars. If they whacked the crate motor indexes .50, how many more NHRA would show up that wouldn't normally? They're nothing compared to the CJ's and DP's! LOL I really like the one that's rated 50 HP less than my motor, and runs on a softer index, even after NHRA hit indexes .30! That's AWESOME. I'm not writing letters to the Tech Dept, I'm writing letters to SANTA! "

Michael, with all due respect,
I didn't say they didn't want them, I said they didn't expect them to come. That's why they don't care when Nhra has a race in their neighborhood. If they expected the Nhra cars to come, they would try to work with Nhra, as hard as that might be.

As far as the crate motors indexes, start at the 8# class, A/S versus E/CM and check the indexes all the way down. The crate motors can run any intake plus a 750 Holley on small blocks and an 850 on big blocks. Otherwise, the rules are the same for traditional and cm stockers. Why should the cm stockers have that advantage? You guys would be crying if someone that likes to go fast built a car to run in your class. Then you might know what traditional stockers now face with Nhra. BTW, Ihra did a great job by putting the bogus hp new cars where they can run each other and not get a free ride against the 'old cars'.
