Ask AHRA to include Crate Motor Stockers

Merry Christmas everyone...

Sure this will get some mixed reactions, but here is my reasoning.

With AHRA signing some tracks, and picking up some steam, I hope they can help the overall state of sportsman racing. Trying to be positive here! We have seen a ton of post on here about the need to get more people in S-SS etc. Best start is to give all the opportunity to race and take part! That is why I ask them to include crate motors...

While some argue that crate motor is not really stock, I think most all agree that we need to support and grow our sport. I have raced both traditional stockers and crate motor cars. Have been racing NHRA and IHRA for over 20 years now in several classes, mostly 10.90 and stock. I want to have the opportunity to race, and really do not care if it starts with N or I or A, or even local S=SS races... Just love to race. I enjoy working on my cars, and tweaking a stocker does not make a difference between a crate motor or my 67 Pontiac 400 motor... all take time, money and same skills.

I sent Troy Moe, CEO of AHRA an email, and ask him to share it with proper people, since all web site is not up and not all emails work yet. I got a quick thank you note back from him, and he told me he would forward to rules committee and proper people.

Troy Moe email is troym@ahradragracing.com .

I am not giving up on anyone, just want more places to race. If you want to help others with this opportunity, please send him a quick email.

Lets pray for a great New Year!

Ken
