Yes.. MJ ,IHRA previously used the specs and horsepower ratings from NHRA... some HP factors may have been different.
I haven't heard if pure stock, crate motor and GT stockers will be back?
pure stock had different HP ratings than the same combo in stock.
crate motor was IHRA's ratings, GT most likely same as the combo is in stock

Alan just my considered opinion,means i thought about it.lol
i think you would have a lot more participation if you seperated the
Fi cars from the carbs. like they did originally. Now i know there will be a lot of pushback from the Fi guys, of course But if we dont preserve the classics
they will eventually be pushed out. i have ideas on how to make it fair if you want to talk. And before youse guys start , i know everyone is not going to agree ,but maybe we can express our opinions without rancor. haha

Now I know why we are destined to fail as a group.
Alan asked one question, we have now given him 37 different opinions on how we should tell him how Stock and Super Stock should be run if IHRA takes it on. I almost caught myself giving my opinion on this post but I know better. I'm sure Alan knows these classes well enough he has his own ideas or has enough people that he has worked with to come up with a plan. I can bet you one thing, if this thread turns into 100+ suggestions, it will be the last time he asks a simple question.

What the hell were we supposed to do? All pm each other until we formed perfect unison, then had one answer? The whole point of the thread was to get opinions and ideas.

True JP and it's likely one of the only times you will get to express your opinion about anything to an official who actually has the power to do something about it so I think giving opinions is a good thing because Alan will take it the right way.

I would like to see at least two class eliminations in the northeast every year. Am looking forward to whatever the IHRA cooks up for Stock and SS this year.

If you look at the question that was asked, it was only how often you would think class should be run - nothing else.

It would be very helpful if you guys could do this......

Seriously, we have a lot of things on the table. I was curious as to how important Class Elims. was. I know that something like Indy, it's a big deal. I also know that some treat "Normal" Class like just another Q run, so I wanted the input. And I appreciate it.

This gives me a better idea about what to work towards.
Please understand that my first order of business is to get back on track. That's where we start, we grow from there.
