Crate Motor Class

Why not lighten up a little? The way I see this is that the IHRA let a lot of people down. Both the tracks and the racers deserved better. When the tracks switched to the NHRA they worked together to build this series. I think it will be fun and will have at least one COPO at as many of the races as I can. The crate motor racers will get a chance to run in the series this year. That means they have somewhere to race without making a drastic change to their cars. The NHRA has made no long term commitment at this time. I really don't feel that the NHRA is going to add crate motors. Mainly because car counts are good and it adds complication to tech.
