Just like the the song Night Moves.....

Not a clue.....

LMAO! You obviously don't know Bob! Chopping Block?? Lets wait and see the Vegas Sportsman turnout. NHRA has seen what has not worked for IHRA so why would they even consider more classes?

I've said this before but here it is again, I don't think nobody is scared so save that lame excuse. I have some people that have crate motor cars that I consider to be good friends but they knew the deal when they went that route. When I built my car I did so where as to I could race anywhere I chose to under the current rules. Seems too often these days that when something doesn't meet one's agenda everyone else is suppose to conform to their way or its not fair. Like my boy Michael Brand said we don't need more classes we need less so there's a chance of an actual heads up run in a performance based class.
Go find the right combo and come race!

GT, CM and PS were not the reason IHRA Sportsman did not work.
All these classes already exist in some form in NHRA.
Lot of drivers had great luck with them.

NHRA can just merge/adopt them all under A-Z.
Like I said earlier..my car performance wise would fall in R/SA.
Add a few changes and boom you have a more cars competing.

FS somehow gets accepted and cannot be licensed for the street.
How is that fall under Stock? (another topic)
But you have a lot of them running adding to the car count.

Always thought it was sad you could not run a 455 Buick in a 1987 GS.
Until GT class came along yet NHRA does it in SS.
The concept of what the Stock Eliminator is has evolved a lot.

How you can accept the FS cars and not GT, CM, PS is not rational?
It is something else !

I still don't get it, I assume you're comparing indexes. Where does your car fall in the NHRA classification guide?

If it was just full Stock K, L or M...

If NHRA adopted PS would fall under R.
My car fits all the other Stocker requirements.
So that is what I am pressing them for.

Good luck with that but if you're serious about racing NHRA I would be spending some money to find some speed. It doesn't appear that you're that far away from running the index now so I wouldn't think it would take alot.

So, you're asking for Pure rules, but to be put into real Stock, where YOU think it should be?
Oh boy..
Where's Perrone when we need him? LOL
