Crate Motor Class

I understand the crate motor deal. Spec heads, intake, carb, and short block. All parts you can buy over the counter. I guess there is a cam spec as well. Can you buy these engine completely from GM, Ford and Mopar?
I guess no difference other then they were IHRA class cars only.

My point is I’m an NHRA drag racer that competes in stock. After I was called irrelevant I thought I had a right to an opinion and stated why. BTW I don’t follow the Div2 Facebook page so I didn’t see the memo. Congratulations on getting someone to work with your cars. If it gets accepted, I’ll build one and throw my Pontiac stuff in the garbage. I can’t get any parts or help with it anyway. What my head castings cost I could buy every part for a crate. Then plenty of money left over to make it fast.

All of your above questions were answered by the division 2 director on facebook . Kudos to rich for thinking outside the box and giving these cars a place to run. Do you legitimately think crate motor engines are just drop shipped from jegs and put in the car? It’s building power within the guidelines of specific rules. And awesome your from division 1, is that supposed to mean something? This move by NHRA doesn’t affect you one bit, so why the criticism? If you want to drive down here and race with us, we welcome you, but do some research before you make blanket ignorant statements. And yes, their are heads up races in CM , have to pass fuel check, hit the scales and pass tech just as your wonderful legal stocker does. So enlighten me as to what’s the difference?
