Im kinda glad i didnt build an NHRA combo because i cant imagine what its like hanging out with you guys when the races are done. Pass the Grey Poupon. When i do come race ill park on the road so you dont have to smell whats left over from my IHRA crate motor days. Id like to do a count of how many times ive been asked why i built a crate motor combo and why i built an IHRA only combo. Who cares. Question is why is it ok to have stocker with parachutes but a brand specific replacement engine offered by the manufacture combination is no good? Because NHRA never asked for your opinion they dont care what you think. There going to do what makes money and not worry what the entry level classes think. Imagine if NHRA folded up their sportsman classes to go forward with pro classes only. IHRA officials and racers would welcome you with high 5s, hand shakes and a cold open beer (for after the races lets make that clear) even if you had NHRA specific class allowances. Thats fact.

Wouldn't you have met all the same people if you had a NHRA legal car running IHRA?

I really don't care I don't take the car out much (still have it pretty much ready to go anytime I wish) I have no want or desire to run national events. Divisional races and local combos is more to my liking. I could care less if the combos allow IHRA cars.
I think the issue most have with allowing the IHRA cars is National event entries are getting hard to come by and they don't want it to get any worse.
