Pure Stock at divisionals, why not?

Just run IHRA, they're more friendly anyway.

Speaking of juniors, my kid is having a blast running his (two motors and a hub last race grrr) He wants a rail when he grows up. I said you mean a S/SS car? "naw I want a really fast dragster"

CRAP!!! I've still got a few years to work on him though.

You either have no tech (brackets) or tech (Class). To be honest, if I could drive a street car to the track and run against $100,000 S/SS cars with no tech...why the F$%^ would anybody build a S/SS car anymore? And if I'm running a $100,000 car and get beat by a daily driver that wasn't tech'd...well, I probably wouldn't be back.

I'm all for the underdog and love seeing a U/SA beat a A/SA, but the playing field is level when both tech in.

Also, unless you have holes in your palms and feet, you will "fudge" the rules. EVERYBODY will look for an advantage.

I'd rather see juniors too...heck even sleds don't bother me, but bikes, ugh! Harleys are ok but them screeching jap bikes make me want to smash something/someone!
