I was at a Bracket race Saturday that paid $20,000 to win and $200 a round starting 3rd rd winner.

Another thing I see funny about these posts are the fact guys are asking for GT STOCK, Crate Motors, Pure Stock, and FWD drive classes. Last IHRA race I went to they had all those classes.

I know you guys think I'm a horses bu tt, but I do love Stock and Super Stock

Atlanta was a 2-day race, $160 entry, and probably won $3K+ in a 5 round race. And they had a BBQ Friday night. In some aspects, some parts of NHRA are becoming what IHRA was 10 years ago.

Point of information regarding GT Stock, however. IHRA does limit it to '80 and newer cars, '79 and older engines... If it was open like Super Stock, I would've built the DragPak motor with some slight changes to be able to run both.
