question for Mr. Billy Neese and fellow dime rocket racers.

Yeah, it could use it. Doubt there's a snowballs chance in H#)) it'll happen. Be another class, more cars and it would need to be policed and tech inspection performed. Something I sincerely doubt NHRA is interested in.

Closest thing out there is IHRA's Pure Stock. Unless you live near any IHRA tracks, well, you basically have a "stock" bracket car. I wanted to run my Achieva in this class but it doesn't fit. Another factor, some combos don't support or allow all IHRA classes. Locally for me, Ohio Valley and Beech Bend in Kentucky run combos but only the Valley allows some IHRA classes (no PS'ers).

Took my dime rocket to the Doorslammers at Ohio Valley this past Sunday. We ran it in the Pro bracket. Accomplished a couple bests, it ran a 10.69 at 66.69 mph. previous bests were 10.83 and 65+ mph. I'm still short of the IHRA EF/SA index of 9.85. Other than basic hot rodder stuff, we haven't done anything to the car, yet.

Start a build, put something together and jump in.
