Pure Stockers New Camshaft Rule !!!

[Dan Fahey]

Considering NHRA and IHRA only now have updated current Classification Guides there will be more interest. This year there was a record number of PSers built. More already being planned for 2014.

For the uninformed the reason for coming back to PS is fun.
Costs are far lower and maintenance. Lets put it this way.
You do not need exotic parts to keep them alive.

Plus they are the old Stocker rules before CamAGedin!

Btw there were 8 Pure Stockers at Darlington.
4 at most of the IHRA races I attended.

Dan, how many pure stock cars for the entire season? I don't mean counting cars more than once if they ran more than one event, how many unique cars?

According to Nitro Joe's year end stats 15 total. That's for the entire year.

So my point again: why change the rule for 15 cars? If it ain't broke ... don't fix it.

I know personally when our cam (with stock duration) comes out the next time the one that goes back in won't have stock lift either. We can go bracket racing and run some local heads-up DOT stuff and go much quicker for less money.

Kinda surprised they even keep an eliminator for fifteen total cars nationally and a max of eight cars, as low as four cars showing up for a race. I could not see many people wanting to run one, that is even fewer than I would have expected. You should really be thankful they have not just done away with it. IHRA is really trying.

BTW we don't run in a separate eliminator

I would like rules left, but where do you come up with specs for post 86 cars? duration,overlap,spring pressure has been left out of NHRA specs since 86 and that is what IHRA uses.
I have a lot of time in making my car work like it is,but if this rule sticks,my springs will definately be changed and most likely cam will be changed too,then whatever changes car needs afterwards.

My calculation,19 different Pure Stockers raced in 2013.
Total 43 pictures are posted on the Pure Stock Photo Gallery.

Recently added Phil Baldiccino's A/PS Max Wedge Corbitt Marshburn's B/PS 95 Camaro, Bob Davenports G/PS 96 Caprice.
Need to find Corbitt's G/PS Caprice SS Wagon he sold.
Brent Darroch raced his D/PS Camaro at Mason Dixon in November.
There are more PS racers out there and want their pictures.

I get emails from racers with questions building Pure Stockers.
Helped a racer get his new 2013 V6 Mustang classified.
Now that Classification Guides are updated this will improve the Class.

A little marketing more racers will take a crack at Class Racing.
It is a cost effective class to build and maintain.

If somehow Imports are added the whole class will grow faster.
My estimate in 2014 there will be about 25 Pure Stockers racing.

Will do my best to improve these numbers.

There are few FWD cars, so let's do away with those too. Oh, and Super Stock trucks, SS/*X classes, and Hemi cars. Not many of those, so we should do away with them. There aren't many AMC's and they haven't been made in years anyway, so why let people run them? And six-cylinder cars, c'mon! Isn't racing about going fast?

Yes, it's *that* ridiculous. People are actually promoting the sport and building cars. Positive support is a GOOD thing. All the downplaying is completely bizarre.
