Class Nationals event planning

[Dan Fahey]

Mike:

Lyn Smith just emailed me and suggested discussing the Pure Stock Rules and made several good points.

Such as a point you made earlier that Stockers just cannot show up with mufflers added and call themselves Pure Stockers.

The Prime Differences are the Following;

Full Time Mechanical Water Pump
Full Muffler System. My car still has CATS on them.
IHRA certified Pure Stocker Cam and Stock Spring Pressures
Stock Rods, Beams can be Polished to reduce fractures.
Maximum 9 inch Slick diameter is 29 inches
Any DOT tagged Rear Tire is ok.
Can run Pump Fuel, race optional.
Roll Bar needed if the car runs under 11.50ET
Which means Certified Seat Belts, otherwise Stock Seat Belts are ok.

Most everything else is the same unless I missed something.

Optional working AC beneficial for Summer

PURE STOCK - refer to IHRA Rulebook, page 47, available online at http://www.mydigitalpublication.com/...tion/?i=136499

Tech officials Danny Waters, Sr and Jim Woods can also answer technical questions regarding these classes.

Michael,

I am assuming that there will be fuel tech there as well. Also what kind of wheather can we expect? Being from Wisconsin that time of year it can be cold and rainy and YES can even have snow.

Yes, we will have fuel check.

RE: weather, on another thread somewhere, I had posted historical weather data and high temps Fri-Sat-Sun, first weekend in May each year at National Trail Raceway. Here is the info:

2013 - 78 / 73 / 73 - all clear
2012 - 87 / 81 / 80 - SAT (light rain 8:30PM-10:30PM only)
2011 - 57 / 64 / 69 - SUN (.07" precip 8AM-9AM only)
2010 - 82 / 71 / 73 - SAT (.04" precip 11:20AM -1PM only), SUN: wash
2009 - 71 / 62 / 64 - FRI: wash, Sat-Sun all clear
2008 - 80 / 70 / 63 - FRI (.12" precip 5:30PM-8PM), SAT (6AM-Noon), SUN clear
2007 - 75 / 66 / 66 - SAT (2PM-7PM), Fri & Sun clear
2006 - 72 / 61 / 64 - all clear
2005 - 55 / 54 / 55 - all clear
2004 - 62 / 79 / 52 - FRI: wash, SAT clear til 10PM, SUN rain til 1PM, SUN clear
2003 - 66 / 63 / 69 - SAT sprinkle @ 7PM, Fri & Sun clear
2002 - 57 / 66 / 72 - all clear

Really, in 12 years, only 2010 would've been really bad. There's a couple of years that we could've gotten through with some schedule adjustments. Historically, might have to deal with a stray shower once at some point during the weekend. Those are about as good of odds as you could ask for.

So, it should be somewhere between 54 and 87. ;-)
