NHRA open to run IHRA class cars

[tpoh815]

Just a question. I cant remember 2007 or 2008 IHRA was displeased with the condition of the pit area, mainly where the pros parked. Did they ever fix or improve it ? I haven't returned since then so I am wondering what NHRA sees as advantageous to having an event there. I am very happy this is happening and hoping for a good turn out as this would be the closest NHRA event in the WNY area.

Will you don't have to have a 10-25 grand motor to run stock. I have 2 stockers sitting
Here with no where near that in the pair.
I have a friend that bought a pure stocker changed the cam and rear. It would run under the index, so it can be done with a budget

Pretty much what I did.

I bought my 95 Mustang PS right off a car lot with the sole intention of turning it into a Pure Stocker.
Rear gear change, driveshaft loop, a shift kit, and verify the engine was stock. Car still has the stock torque convertor.

Ran right on the I/PS index at my 1st IHRA race for under $ 4,800.
Plus I can still drive it around town. ;

It was also a drainage problem at the end of track plus the chunks of ash fault in the pits,has been repaired ,car count should be good with both ,

Im extremely exited that IHRA cars will be allowed to run. Hopefully it will open NHRAs eyes and allow us crate motor stockers to run more often. I think the whole "crate motor" name gets confused with some people. Other then a different casting head, intake and carb these cars are identical to traditional stockers. Same bottom end, same camshaft with a lift rule. For example my H/CM Camaro 350/330hp (334 re-rated) that uses a 9.5 weight to rated HP and a 11.95 index is 98% the same as a G or H/SA car.

Curios what is the lift on the cam in your H/CM?

Why would a guy not build a car that fit classes with both HRAs in the first place, if he wanted to be able to run it anywhere? Instead of expecting one HRA to change rules to suit them?

For the same reason a guy would oppose one HRA or the other making a move to open up opportunities to more "racers" ....... Let's spend less time on the school yard and more time supporting class racing . In any form
