Dan, I feel for ya, understand completely as I was collecting parts to build a crate motor car. You will never get NHRA to make a decision on anything by writing on a forum though. Even if you got 100% agreement on here (which obviously will never happen), you need to petition NHRA and get as many others to sign on to it. Even though they read classracer, they need someone running point to actually present something to them because they sure as hell won't read a forum, decide everybody likes something and then implement it on their own.

Good luck with your efforts.
Thank you !
You do make progress without asking.
In fact did petitioned and converse with NHRA and they liked my offer.
Just not in their interest right now.
That is fine. Did my due diligence.

With NMCA may renew the Pure Stock Challenge.
PureStockDrags and I have talked and cool stuff brewing there.

CR is a good medium for ideas and concurrence.
Got a lot of encouraging emails from CM and PS drivers.

Will run S/SS associations, still have ECIRS, Club and Bracket racing.
Getting advise where to get work done on the car.
Friend recommended HFR Fabrication for a Roll Bar.
Not sure the 10 bolt 8.5 inch rear will hold up to the extra HP.
Time to think and assess.

As for being a Bracket Car..yes.
When you run Eliminations you set up the car for Bracket Racing.
Handicap racing is Bracket Racing.
Your ability to cut a light an run on your dial is Bracket Racing.

Unlike regular Bracket Racing everyone is looking for more performance in Stock.
Started in G/PS running 13.50's now F/PS running 13.0's.
Planned to set the record in F/PS.
You do not set records in Bracket Racing.
You are not limited to mods in bracket racing as in Stock.

Pure Stock has more restrictive rules to go fast than Stock.

Just saying
