Crate Motor Class

The changes to PS didn't bring in any cars and it hurt car counts. The recent schedule change will help them more than the flat hood, injection, RPM and wheelie bar ever did. I guess you want to do the same to an already cool class. Leave stock alone...

I still don't get Crate Motor or the attraction to it......

If you build a POS slow Crate Motor racecar or you build a POS slow NHRA Stock Eliminator racecar there is no difference.....

Now understand what I mean by SLOW. SLOW is the performance vs. the racecars index.....

There would still have to be tech (that's if anybody gives a crap about legal racecars), so what is the advantage of a Crate Motor racecar????

If you don't build a good one ($$$$$$$$), in a heads up race you come in second...

OR

Is that part of the plan, to do away with heads-up??????

Just my 2 cents on again muddying the waters that we call NHRA Stock Eliminator....

I still don't get it...

POS crate motor cars ! There are a number of PK , Wiscarver, Pete Z , Plage,Sloan, car's out there. I wouldn't be so fast with the POS stuff.

Obviously you didn't read my post or chose to only look at only one sentence...

I didn't say that Crate Motor cars are a POS.....

I said that IF you build a POS Crate Motor car or you build a POS Stock class car you will have a slow car.

If you want to build a fast Crate Motor or a fast Stock Eliminator car then have at it......

Fast = $$$$$$$$

No matter what you build......

So why build a fast ($$$$$) Crate Motor car and not a fast ($$$$$) Stock Eliminator car???????????????????

Why would somebody build a car for a class that one Association does not support, then want that other group to add their class? Why not build a car that fits both places to begin with?

Wow Ed, when you put it that way it sounds very "progressive" to me. If you know what I mean.

Have you personally priced the cost of what it would take to build a POS crate motor? If you want to compare costs of a crate motor build and a A/SA build call me, I have them both in my garage. The crate motor leaves a lot more money in your pocket and your much further under the index.

I figure that a POS Crate Motor would be pretty cheap....

But on the other hand.....

Building a kick *** and fast Crate Motor would cost a lot of $$$$$, just like a fast Stock Eliminator Engine....

It seems that a few people have had a problem comprehending what my first statement said....

For those you that don't or didn't or don't want to get it, I will clarify my earlier statement.....

I never said that Crate Motor Class cars are a POS, but rather if you want to build a good and fast racecar that is your choice. If you want to a POS that is also your choice..

The fast guys will be fast and slow guys will be slow, it's a choice everybody has to make as to their level of commitment to performance..

To restate the facts:
I never said that Crate Motor Cars are a POS, just that people have a choice in what they build. You can build a POS or a National Record holding racecar or anything in between.....

Get over it....

Bob

PS:
Under the index don't mean crap in a heads up race or on a dial in
