I am seriously looking at P/S and running IHRA only. I agree with Alan, the cost to participate NHRA is no longer justifiable and to defeat 4-5 of the countries finest drivers to win your entry back at a points race is no longer tolerable. I like the round $ paid by IHRA and the pump gas in P/S and now the 5k races offered by IHRA for 200$ entry. NHRA is dropping car counts and doesn't appear to be troubling them at all. Its to bad, We really enjoy the Gators and Belle Rose but NHRA needs a major purse adjustment to justify the entry fees and 12$ a gal. fuel. I'd be content just to break even occasionally Looking forward to Richmond Spectacular!!!

Instead of Pure Stock, this new series will be call SHOWROOM STOCK, this for the person who wants to compete at Divisional Meets, not at a bracket race(not that the're something wrong with bracket, but just want to move up). Terry, it would be advisable to tow with a trailer if you're far from home but not a prerequisite for running. I'm going to see if there is some interest from tracks owners. These car woulf not compete against Stock eliminator, this would be a showroom Stock only with tire change only allowed.Claude

SO.......you want to create a NEW class so you can "move up" ???
How absurd !!
Want to "move up" then run an existing class !!!
Divisionals don't need anymore classes.....

Absurd in which way John, because of the idea or just because you don't agree. Look,how about you come up with something that will bring possibly new cars and maybe some interest in a sport that has been neglected for the past ten years or more. Well I've been attending many Divisionals and found alot of downtime between classes. Think about it " Showroom Stock Eliminator" that sounds pretty good to me. Now, where did I put those meds Ed sent me? Claude

Claude,any class you add that's performance orientated will require teching and specs.
Like some have said,we dont need any more classes.
Btw people,the meds I sent Claude are called "reality pills".:>):>):>)

Thanks Ed, I've taken two like you've prescribed and I now will be sleeping much better. Thank You Dr Reality. Please check my new web site that I hope to have running soon. www.showroomstock.com and the new Tshirts will be available at Indy. Two great quotes:Just because It hasn't been done yet, doesn't mean it's impossible and whether you think you can or can't you're right.( Henry Ford) Claude

With ELEVEN classes at a divisional no more are needed !!
It takes forever to run the throttle stop classes alone !! And then the needless "bike" bracket class.
And you want to add a class with no tech or teardownns ??
Like no one would ever cheat ?...................... HA !!

Considering that the owners of the track are the one who have to guarantee the whole purse and have to kick some money up to NHRA, how long before they say , thank you but no thank you for putting on a divisional. Think about it.
