Default Re: Pure Stockers New Camshaft Rule !!!

I agree that this rule hurts the Intent of Pure Stock.
Having mixed opinion because the original rule was working to bring more cars in to Stock as a Pure Stocker.

Just wondering why this topic was not discussed.
The old rules were working just fine.
Not a lot of us but enough to make the Class interesting.
Drawing in the new cars and Racers interested in giving Class Racing a crack.
That was the intent of Pure Stock.

As for getting the ear of Mike.
Yes...he likes working with me.
Likes the fact of supporting Pure Stock and being an advocate of IHRA racing.
I was making a difference and attracting folks getting interested in Class Racing.
I post on IHRA blogg on LinkedIn.

In the interest of speeding up a detailed tech inspection of a cam.
I get that.

Just think there were other ways to to speed up that process.
Such as having the CamManufacturer declare the Cam was built to the intent of the Rules.
Reputation means everything to a Manufacturer.
A Cam Card Certified. Have it sent to an IHRA Tech person to measure it.

Understand the Reffing part very well.
How can the processes be designed so the Tech Inspection is quick and thorough?
Made a suggestion to have Centers and Dates set up between races just for Tech Inspection.
Meet in mass prepared and assisting the Inspectors.

The number of IHRA National Records set is pathetic compared to NHRA.
More cars Teched will take the National Record challenge.

Other ideas need to collaborated with Racers.
This was a bit of a shocker.

Bottom line..
How can we make IHRA Better for every one than NHRA ?
