In defense of Roy McNeil.
He makes great points and he is correct about the data.

However his data also helps validate my points.
More racers building non Traditional Stocker if NHRA participated.
Includes the Heads up x.90 Classes that IHRA sanctions.

Bracket Racers would step up too.
Some of the upgrade rules of Stock are beneficial.
Now you can put a SBC in a Vega and run Stock.
It is a relatively inexpensive bolt in combination.

Along with the GT and CM it adds variety.
There is no rush to new build traditional 60's/70's Muscle Cars
because the collector value and parts.

Do like the new FS Classes. It was a boom for the industry and nobody cried about these new $100k Cookie Cutter Factory built Stockers.
Fine for those racers that have the bucks.

There is a lot to be said building your own ride and winning races with them.

Sorry but stock is not meant for everyone. Your thinking is part of the problem with this country. I try to stay out of politics and philosophical arguments. But here goes. Then I am done on this subject.

Rather than saying I want to race NHRA and build a car to do so you are saying I want to build whatever I want regardless of the rules. And now that I have I expect NHRA to change their rules to let me race with them.

Why is it no matter the facts. Dan you can't even fill a 12 month calendar with existing pure stock cars. Your excuse is Nhra is over priced. Why keep bashing? You are a keyboard racer face it. Please get another hobby besides posting on a race site. They have Facebook for guys like you

Just a question. I cant remember 2007 or 2008 IHRA was displeased with the condition of the pit area, mainly where the pros parked. Did they ever fix or improve it ? I haven't returned since then so I am wondering what NHRA sees as advantageous to having an event there. I am very happy this is happening and hoping for a good turn out as this would be the closest NHRA event in the WNY area.

Wasting your breath James. LOL

Will you don't have to have a 10-25 grand motor to run stock. I have 2 stockers sitting
Here with no where near that in the pair.
I have a friend that bought a pure stocker changed the cam and rear. It would run under the index, so it can be done with a budget

It was also a drainage problem at the end of track plus the chunks of ash fault in the pits,has been repaired ,car count should be good with both ,

Im extremely exited that IHRA cars will be allowed to run. Hopefully it will open NHRAs eyes and allow us crate motor stockers to run more often. I think the whole "crate motor" name gets confused with some people. Other then a different casting head, intake and carb these cars are identical to traditional stockers. Same bottom end, same camshaft with a lift rule. For example my H/CM Camaro 350/330hp (334 re-rated) that uses a 9.5 weight to rated HP and a 11.95 index is 98% the same as a G or H/SA car.

Can hit IHRA races in Florida, Carolinas, PA, MD, OH, VA.
OWN a home in Florida and can put the car with trailer on the AutoTrain.
Did that a couple years ago driving the car to Bradenton from Orlando.
Then there are about 20 independent Races.
Can also race it in Brackets.

I am not bashing ...I am advocating !
Why are you so angry and negative?
Not giving up on what I think is right!
