IHRA has done a wonderful job allowing Pure Stockers to compete.
More and more are being built and hope to see a dozen or so new names this year.

But there is an opportunity to open up the numbers.
Allow the new cars to compete.

This is my recommendation.
Keep current rules for 2005 and below cars as is.

Cars after 2006 have to run factory Springs, Cam, Stock Exhaust system.
Allow Slicks, DOT's, Gears, Converter, high flow mufflers and bolt on headers, bolt on fresh air system.
All accessories hooked up just like out of the factory and just Bolt On's.

Naturally aspirated V6 and V8 cars.
No turbo or supercharged cars...at least for now.
That is it...

Need to figure out what class index them to fit into. (HP/Weight/Index)

Will need some certification process.
Such as getting the Manufacture and Dealership providing documentation as produced and no secret cam.
Here is where things get sticky because we need the manufacturers and dealership help.

Key issue getting Car manufacturer and IHRA buy in.
Potential to sell more cars.
Earn a bit in preparing and setting them for their customer.

The new cars are structurally stronger and would like to see the Roll Bar certification upped from 11.50 to 11.00 flat.

You have the GTO/G8/Chevy SS, Mustangs, Cudas/Challengers and Corvettes, Cadillac's....(if I forgot one list it)

Would like to see Sedans from BMW, Mercedes, Audi participating too.
But that is a whole new can of worms argument.

A lot of racers have bought these cars and looking at testing them in Class Racing.

OK seeking Feedback !!
