I have spectated at numerous D4 races and I can tell you alot more guys turn out in S/SS at those races than the IHRA races I have raced in D4. I don't know about the rest of the country.

I don't think NHRA needs crate motors for car counts. That's why they are doing everything they can to limit fields and make it difficult to participate in Stock. Interestingly enough, they have "borrowed" most other IHRA classes - Top Sportsman, Pro Mod, Top Stock, I think they tried something with bikes....I'm sure there is more.
