A way to race and maybe not stand a chance against the best in your class , but a way to get out there and race . So the new OEM motors aren't crate motors ?? This holier than thou hypocrisy in S/SS is amazing !! As everyone pushes for non stock parts to gain an advantage while moaning about a car you'll never race heads up .

I just love you no name guys. You, of course, splained nothing. I'm talking about Stock. We all know the new OEM motors are in SS. But there are none in older cars in Stock. You want in the back door of Stock with your garden variety low budget crate motor cars when others have spent their money and built their cars for nhra racing. Go build a legitimate nhra Stocker (budget or expensive) and you will be welcomed with open arms but you will not make it in with the budget crate motor cars. nhra already has way more Stockers than it wants. A Division Director told me that "if" anything was ever to be allowed it would be the new oem motors (read expensive) and that they have absolutely no interest in opening the door to the old ihra crate motor cars. I hope you understand my splaination this time. But I doubt it!
