=Dan Fahey;413292]OK how about this?
IF Original Stock Rating =>135lb
THAN 170lb
ELSE 130lb.

Suggestion for Pure Stock:
Add AA and AAA/PS classes to bring in some of the new cars.

Roll Bars:
Instead of a Welded-In 6 Link Roll Bar for the over 11.50 ET Rule.
Allow the new 4 Link / 6 Link Bolt-In Roll Bars.
Allow Stock Seatbelts, No Airbag Delete.
The Late model cars are well constructed for Crash Protection.
Products are already available for the Road Race Community.
Brings in a new Manufacturer. Maybe new Contingency Money.

Figure a 3 tenths average with this change.
IHRA will have to recalculate the Indexes.

Again this new Spring Rule if adopted may have a benefit and bring in a few parked Stockers hiding in Garages.

IMHO,

For current and future Pure Stock racers,

Other than dealing with the proposed cam / valve spring rules,
PLEASE leave the current Pure Stock rules alone..

Keep in mind that this is supposed to be an entry level (though competitive) class with results achieved by innovation and hard work, not cubic $$$$..

Pure Stock does not need Drag Specific (AA, AAA) factory built drag cars, or blower or turbo cars. only showroom available, to the general public. If IHRA accepts the 2009- 2014 showroom available cars just added to the NHRA guide, most V8's will fit in B/PS thru E/PS. Challenger cpe, Must GT and Camaro SS.

Roll bars and harnesses may be have to be considered below 11.49

The indexes, let IHRA monitor the first few races and go from there. Some combos may need HP to level the field rather than an index change. NEVER suggest a 3 tenths index reduction, if you're wrong you'll never get it back....

Pure Stock may be considered to be last shred (in both HRA"S) of how it was and originally conceived (pre 1985) as Stock or Jr Stock back in
the day. As shown by the amount of interest generated in this thread,
(over 6,100 hits and 87 replies) in three days, it is evident that there is interest to preserve and promote Pure Stock.

Thanks to Terry, Dwight, and other "veterans" who share their opinions and experiences related to the direction of this class..
