Z-MAX car count

[KEN BUGAJ]

Bruton builds a Palace and no cars.
NHRA needs to try Crate Motor cars !
The car count would be 100 or more, not 67.
I know of 30 or 40 cars in the area.
Some really nice cars!

OK, beat me up ,,,,,

not having super stock elim prob hurt and
all the talk about the police harassing racers can't be helping the situation.
A four day race at a facility that large shouldn't need to drop a class
just my opinion

Hi Angelo,
Yeah, No Super Stok was a bad move.
As far as the police harassing, I have never had a problem in NC. Just one time that I caused. lol
It's a super facility, I hate to see it not used.

I don't understand not having Super Stock in the heart of Super Stock. I agree with the comments about not having problems with the security personnel. When we were there we stay three days and two nights inside the track. It was a party all three days. Cook-outs every where. Cool night to stroll through the pits and every security person you met was very cordial.

Mr. Kelley is from Texas and does not represent the racers of North Carolina. His statement made no sense.

In my opinion, NHRA does NOT need crate motor cars. I own a crate motor car. If I want to run an NHRA race, I will take an NHRA-legal car.

Now, not having Super Stock at this event does not make sense to me.

Not only should it have had Super Stock, but it should have had class eliminations for Super Stock as well, and it should have been a 3 day race instead of four. One reason I did not go this time (as a crew chief, not a driver) is I'd have had to leave on Tuesday night. That's ridiculous.

Dead-on!

Michael, That works for you, but not everyone can barrow a car.

I own an NHRA-legal Stocker. I haven't raced it in a number of years, but may take it out a couple times next year (with a For Sale sign on it) I bought & built a crate motor car because I choose to run IHRA. If I cared to run NHRA, I would either race my other car, or put a 'traditional' motor in the Volare. NHRA has "borrowed" plenty of IHRA ideas already. The organizations don't have to be the same. If NHRA allowed crate motors, they'd pick up 10 cars, and lose 15-20 cars from guys who don't want to race against them. Let them do their own thing.

I'm building another stocker so it can cross over.
Only because I had a buyer for the CM car.
