IHRA has very limited exposure in the states, thus the Pure Stockers have very few places to race.

Other than IHRA, the only group that gladly welcomes IHRA Pure Stockers is the NMCA...they welcome ALL IHRA class cars.

I plan to help support the NMCA with their new combo races this year by entering into their Bowling Green and Indy races.

It would be great tho if the Pure Stock Drags had a separate class that welcomed the IHRA Pure Stockers

Allan;
You just gave me an idea!
I will see if NMCA will allow the Pure Stock Challenge added to their races?
Then we need to beat on NHRA.
Would love to invite the Pure Stock Drag guys in as well.

As for moving the 2005 limit.
IHRA has very few people who can measure our Cams.
Remember it is the Old Stocker Rules for Overlap and Duration.
I know it it a pain to sort through the Blueprinted Cams.

Think the deal should be changed to a max spring pressure.
Like they have been giving us around 100lb seat for most of us.
Have a limit on the other cars that came Stock with higher pressure.
Toss the complex cam Duration measurement and measure Lift only.
Simplifies the process.

It is called the KISS principle...Keep it sweet and Simple!

This will take time to negotiate.
Everything else remains the same with lifters and rockers.
The IHRA guys work their butts off.
Teching a Pure Stocker is time consuming and new rational process needs to be implemented..

But hey..we are talking and the community is jelling!

Hacksaw btw thank you for chiming in...it is appreciated!
