Maybe if NHRA moved them to the Exhibition section among the Jets, Rockets and Wheelstanders people will be happy.

Now that the "damage is done" 1. do the crate motors keep their IHRA indexes that are slower ? 2 . What if the massive influx of crate motor stockers repositions you on the ladder making it harder to avoid a "heads up" 3. if they keep their IHRA indexes they may be #1 qualifiers more easily !! Time to let the Kelvinators get their cams back and the mopars their intakes , and get out your 85b to mill off your intake flanges on the aftermarket heads to be legal CC!!

1. Do the crate motors keep their IHRA indexes that are slower? Why not and see how they run. If they run 1.2 under they would get the same hit we all do.

2 . What if the massive influx of crate motor stockers repositions you on the ladder making it harder to avoid a "heads up". Not sure how this will change the ladder if crate motors run or not.

3.If they keep their IHRA indexes they may be #1 qualifiers more easily!! Same as number 1 they would get the horsepower adjustment.

The CM ‘s are racing at OPENS, It doesn’t matter where anyone qualifies....first rd. is random pairing...If they go more than 1.2 under they will NOT receive HP, it is an OPEN.....

Hello All.
I do not have a horse in this race.
Both my Corvette's are in SS. but that's another whole mess.
Anyway, I'm slightly confused here, I hear guys complaining there is not enough heads up action. Now I'm hearing what if the Crate motor guys reposition us on the ladder causing more heads up!
So, I guess the fast guys want heads up, and the slower guys do not want Heads ups.
This is a 2 way street, there is room for Crate motor cars at all the divisional.
Super Stock has GT!!!
Welcome more racers to play, or 10 years from now there may not be anybody to play.

Just my pennies worth.

I agree with you Marvin Strickland. I too enjoyed the NHRA Division 2 National Open Series in my crate motor Camaro. (GCM 350/330 hp) I'm just a racer with a modest income, and I'm thankful for the opportunity to participate at nice facilities in Stock Eliminator.

Very well said, I myself do not have the funds to build a high dollar non stock engine is why I'm all for the crate motor deal. I'd better not here one person call us bracket racers or tell us to go back to bracket racing !!! The crate motor cars are more stock then people think.
