Stock is part muscle car show, and should stay that way. Throwing whatever engine you please into whatever body you have is a bracket car, no matter how nice its built.

That sounds like SS/GT ! I couldnt resist. All of you sound like the idiots in congress arguing over how to screw the public. Just re read some of your posts a look at how dumb it all sounds. NHRA wont be doing it except with the new junk so get over it and move on.

Dont you feel special for posting that pic

Actually he seems to have been much better looking than me.There's a small resembalence though.I'm sorry for your loss.He did seem to have a good grasp of Stock,wanting to build a 396/375 combo.Too bad it didn't transfer down to you.Nice to hear that he did get to race the car.

2) you've got a guy that built a car to the rules that he wanted to build, and has fun with it. All this NHRA vs IHRA or this car vs that car stuff is irrelevant.

Michael,read their reasoning.They want NHRA to bend to their wishes.

Terry, we arn't talking about SS at all. But Yeah, that's why it's Super Stock, and look how the new crate motors are doing in GT. Same thing will happen if CM are in stock. NHRA and the manufactures will STICK it to traditional combinations by rating CMs low, and when they get hp, they will throw different rockers on it and claim a whole different motor with another bogus number.

It's unfortunate that people can't have a civil academic discussion without it devolving into a childish flamewar.

Just read it all again. Its pretty clear to me who took it to that level, in which myself an 90% of the people not in favor of CM in NHRA did not go. % on the other side is a little different. I'm just sayin.

Actually this thread started when CrateMotor asked if NHRA had ever considered allowing crate motors in stock. Then the crate motor and IHRA bashing started, just the way I've read it.

I agree.

Hagen Gary · 03-25-2011, 11:47 PM

Who do you agreeing with ED? You posted 1 min after the post in front of you who is claiming that you were bashing CM and IHRA. I don't read it like that at all. People just said, Why on earth would you build a CM and only race IHRA? Thats not bashing. What they were bashing was the lame excuse that CM are easier to find so NHRA should allow them. Go look again, Cratecamaro and his buddy from Canada are the ones who brought out the useless name calling and insults. None before that.

I do agree with the notion of not building a car to run one santioning body. However where we are geographically we don't have many NHRA tracks close. Now I have a question are there not some replacement parts allowed for some combos? If I'm wrong I apologize but if so what would be a difference between that and allowing a CM car, say a natural E car running aluminum heads and just make them add weight? Isnt this the case with another combo. I know you're going to say they came with both options. But the good cores are getting harder to find and more expensive. Just a thought
