And a lot of you guys cursed me for coming up with the crate motor IHRA classes......Gezzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Its great that the auto manufacturers are becoming involved in this bad economy but these specs are a little over the top (my opinion) unless they are S/S only. At the very least the HP ratings should be more "correct" and if the combo dosent meet the 7.5 lb wt factor with a resonable HP rating they should go right into S/S. The rule of limited production cars being automaticly a S/S car and stockers being showroom avaliable to anyone seems to have been thrown out the window long ago. The new Fords along with the Dodges with the 360 combo will be interesting no doubt in the lower classes. I guess we cant stop progress.
