I will never build a car again that doesn't fit NHRA and IHRA.
My advice to anyone thinking of building a pure stock car,build a late model car they can go quick and still be able to street drive them. I don't care anything about being able to street drive my car,but when originally built it was the plan to be able to drive to track and race it,but had to lose the street-ability to be able to catch up with Bobby Butler's Mustang and then Don? Maroon mustang from around Cincy and McGee's chevelle wagon.
Dan,
a LT-1 against a carbed,smog motor 305,why you want to pick on me.

MIKE:
Well I figure a Plus Size LT1 Car vs a Svelte Wheel Standing 305 Malibu is a good match.
However understand your point about Pure Stock.
Sad that NHRA will not allow the Class.
Guess they figure they have enough cars coming to their events.
Going to IHRA races more people are building Pure Stockers to get back into the game.
A hand full every year but it adds up.
Think the key is to standardizing on a Spring Rule.
Much Like PureStockDrags does !
All about the good KISS Principle: Keep it sweet and simple..
To keep the Cam Technical Inspection simple much like regular Stock.
Full Stock is any Spring, any duration, Lift the limiting factor.
Pure Stock rules could be changed limit Spring Pressure and Lift.
Would ease Technical Tear Down Inspection like regular Stock.
Another idea is to incorporate Pure Stock into Regular Stock.
Add them to the ranks of E to T Stock.
An objective of Pure Stock is to incent racers to enter their Street Cars and develop them up the supply chain.
What do you think?
I will write NHRA but want to hear your feedback.
