If you had built a traditional Stocker as Chad did, you could (as Chad can) run both. Just go run IHRA.

Interesting how accommodating IHRA is to the racer.
NHRA has considered Crate Motors and may still happen.
Like that you car race twice in a weekend.
Not going to happen in NHRA.

As for CM engine being less expensive, it is not that much difference.
Less expensive is a good idea considering running Stock is expensive.
Our biggest cost are the Rigs, Tow Vehicles, Lodging, Fuel and stuff breaks.
AND the Parroting is because why you don't like CM?

NHRA would be wise to adopt Pure Stock and CM.
It would help both Drag Racing operations.
More people would build them.

Maybe that is the real ire about CM and PS?
