Obviously you didn't read my post or chose to only look at only one sentence...

I didn't say that Crate Motor cars are a POS.....

I said that IF you build a POS Crate Motor car or you build a POS Stock class car you will have a slow car.

If you want to build a fast Crate Motor or a fast Stock Eliminator car then have at it......

Fast = $$$$$$$$

No matter what you build......

So why build a fast ($$$$$) Crate Motor car and not a fast ($$$$$) Stock Eliminator car???????????????????

Why would somebody build a car for a class that one Association does not support, then want that other group to add their class? Why not build a car that fits both places to begin with?

Wow Ed, when you put it that way it sounds very "progressive" to me. If you know what I mean.

I thought expecting somebody else to provide a class for you sounded progressive. LOL

Have you personally priced the cost of what it would take to build a POS crate motor? If you want to compare costs of a crate motor build and a A/SA build call me, I have them both in my garage. The crate motor leaves a lot more money in your pocket and your much further under the index.

I figure that a POS Crate Motor would be pretty cheap....

But on the other hand.....

Building a kick *** and fast Crate Motor would cost a lot of $$$$$, just like a fast Stock Eliminator Engine....

It seems that a few people have had a problem comprehending what my first statement said....

For those you that don't or didn't or don't want to get it, I will clarify my earlier statement.....

I never said that Crate Motor Class cars are a POS, but rather if you want to build a good and fast racecar that is your choice. If you want to a POS that is also your choice..

The fast guys will be fast and slow guys will be slow, it's a choice everybody has to make as to their level of commitment to performance..

To restate the facts:
I never said that Crate Motor Cars are a POS, just that people have a choice in what they build. You can build a POS or a National Record holding racecar or anything in between.....

Get over it....

Bob

PS:
Under the index don't mean crap in a heads up race or on a dial in

I understood what you were saying, if you want to be fast, itll cost lots of money. I guess I wasn't really clear either. Basically im saying you can be the fastest crate motor car (which there are plenty of combos) and it will be significantly cheaper than building the fastest NHRA legal stocker motor these days.

The crate motors being discussed are for the new OEM motors which would necessitate new classes. They appear to have no interest in any of the current IHRA style crate motors classes. Just more toys for the OEMs.

Bruce can you elaborate? What new OEM crate motors are available? I know that IHRA and maybe NHRA (not sure) created a factory GT class for SS that uses the new factory motors in older cars.
