Crate Engines in NHRA?

[Jim Wahl]

I see the reasoning behind both sides of the crate motor issue. I am not a crate motor guy however, I can see that the crate motor cars may have saved class racing, or at least staved off, the demise of class racing in the IHRA. Are they "Stockers" in the purest form of the definition? No. But they have made a positive effect (more cars in the lanes) on Sportsman racing in the IHRA, like them or not. I have no problem with them. Jim
