NHRA doesn't need pure stockers or crate motor cars. They have basically phased out the little guy with the budget stocker with their low quotas.

Crate motor classes just prolonged the death of Ihra stock.

IHRA is really the place to race if you fall into the lower budget category. You can show up Friday night and be home Sunday for work on Monday.
You can build a CM car, budget stocker or pure stocker for peanuts compared to a fast NHRA car. Plus they give you a free 3 tenths if your slow. For some reason people just aren't supporting them. Could it be the scheduling on top of nhra races, lack of stock/ss tech or the lack of contingency sponsors? Who knows... IHRA needs all the help they can get attracting cars for all classes and if there's a sportsman program next year I'd be surprised.

3. If you have a Crate motor car or Pure stocker sell sell sell because next year they are just going to be another street or modified car.

Just my 2cents
