Well yes you will have to comply to remain competitive.
Everyone did when they changed the rules for Stock.
Think this would not be any different? More money expense, read Novassdude's posting.
Considering the ROI, drop in Purses and Contingencies it is tough to run a full Stocker today.

The new rules will kill PS ! Like TarHeal, would rather run Brackets.
I like racing real Streetable cars, like Stock was intended to be.

There has been an ill intent coming from racers wanting to kill Pure Stock.
Received dirging comments in the past saying it is not real Stock.
Well, here is your golden opportunity to kill PS. If it happens I am gone.

Despite their ire, there is a growing interest in Pure Stock.
If it is going to survive I will be here to improve our lot.

However we need other advocates to speak up.
Cannot do this alone..

To remain competitive I assume you mean heads up races. How many of those in pure stock this year? I would guess there are ways to avoid that. Change class, qualifieing position?

It doesn't matter if it is Pure Stock,Super Stock,Stock or whatever.

If you bring a knife to a gunfight,you most likely are going to lose in a heads up race.

442Olds your rule is incorrect..
First rule you never go into a Gun Fight without a KNIFE!!
Once the bullets are spent everything is up close and personal.

Harry:
Almost happened to me. Looking forward to the challenge!
Is that not what racing really is? To win the Challenge?

Please IHRA ...leave the Pure Stock rules alone.

I am going to race pure stock this year at a few races and s/ss combo races locally. My car is on the lift with most of the mods we are allowed to do already done. I have not done anything with the camshaft or springs yet awaiting for the final say on what is allowed. I like the idea of leaving the camshaft and springs stock the way they came from the factory. I am running this class to keep costs down, learn how to make a car run under the index with the power that is supplied from the factory and to have fun with my 16 year old son. This is my opinion and my opinion only.

Except I'd have to ask, with such a limited number of cars, spread across 9 different pure stock classes, how many times last year did a pure stock car actually have a heads up?

Same is true for any Stock/SS racer. Except for national events where class is run, how many times during the year does any racer actually have a heads-up? Most people don't like them. The few that enjoy that type of racing (usually having the fastest car in the class helps $$$$) seek them out. It won't be any different for Pure Stock racers, just cheaper, and that is the bulk of the argument for the category. That is also the reason why "any OEM appearing valve spring" is a bad idea.
