You only speak for yourself.
Just look at Factory Stock in NHRA..
CM, GT and PS worked fine in IHRA
So did the FI, Truck Classes, FWD.

As for Stockers being Stockers.
The dilution came from the morphing Class Rules.
Not from a new class car.

It worked so good in IHRA that it no longer exists, think about it.

You know it is so hard to have a rational conversation with folks like you.
The reason IHRA dropped Class Racing is because too many racers did not support IHRA's Class Racing.

Cars that could run both NHRA and IHRA didn't show up.
So much for that argument !

Seems when Mr. Bader ran IHRA it did well.
He moved on and things changed.

IHRA was quite innovative bringing in new types of classes.
Classes that NHRA glommed on to.

NHRA, NMCA, IHRA, AHRA can all do what they want.
They are all competing for our business.

It was the fickleness of Racers that stiffed armed IHRA Class Racing.
If you had shown up there would be IHRA Class racing.
It is a Lost Opportunity because of your behavior and attitudes.
You did not support the sport !!

No Dingbat Dan its hard to have a conversation with you! IHRA invented those classes to try to get people to come race with them plain and simple. They thought they could fill races with glorified street cars like yours but instead they ran off the few class racers they had left. No 1/4 racing, no contingency, no nothing was the demise of IHRA amongst other things. Yep I didn't go the last 4 years because I was busy racing somewhere else!
I support the sport where I want to race and don't really give a damn about what you think. Many of the same people who thought IHRA was more racer friendly, or didn't want to take an extra day off to go race, people that race NHRA are a bunch of snobs with big toterhomes blah blah are some of the same people who want these cars added now that they have no place to play.
Last comment I will make on this useless thread.

How dumb. There are lots of low buck cars running NHRA. I don't remember anyone complaining about them.
Then you don't have a problem with crate motor cars running in NHRA, or do they need to be $120,000 crate motor cars like yours. Because other than the price they are the same thing.

Nope. I actually thanked some senior NHRA people for giving my crate motor friends a place to race this year.

.....or do they need to be $120,000 crate motor cars like yours.

That's a special comment. Are we a little butt hurt?

I disagree. But, you are welcome to your opinion.

There you go again being insulting and immature comments!
IHRA failed because of what I wrote.
If you took it personal that is not my problem!
What I had to say was clear!

I took it personal because you said "you did not support the sport". I do support the sport I just did not support IHRA. See you at the races when you get a legal combo.
