IHRA Pure stock.

IHRA Pure stock.

It ain't as stock as you think....:confused2:



Stock equals how the factory built it.....

Tires, exhaust and all......

The modifications get carried away in my opinion even at the "stock" levels.....

"ain't nothing STOCK about a stock car":confused2:

Pure Stock is a lot stocker than you think, and having some parts as they were from the factory isn't feasable, find me a set of tires froma 62 Vette with the same compound as they were back then. Besides, who wants to see a bunch of stock cars go down a race track, i can go to a stealership and see that.

I'ts amaizing the performance in a stock motor that has been balanced and blue printed.

I think there is a place for both.....

But if ya gonna call it stock.....make it stock.....

Then have pro stock......super stock etc.


And I would love to see a bunch of truly stock cars go down or around a race track....don't know about anybody else......


Is it speed you are after or competition???

Two completely different things


Just my opinion:confused2:

I don't care what they are racing...... airplanes to Zambonis.....as long as the racing is good and the winner is not determined by money........

Guess that's why I don't watch much racing:confused2:

Missed the hole point... Just trying to stay on topic and at times one may add in a wise ass remark etc..
This thread was about the NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle Class Changes for the 09 Season..

Pro Stock Motorcycles has nothing to do with Stock as Stock Cars..

They have classes for this type of racing. If you are interested in it and other opinions start a thread and guess what? its free to start a thread here.. :clapping:
I am interested in the NHRA Pro Stock Class and like to hear others opinions on this type of thing.

PRO STOCK MOTORCYCLE RACERS CRY FOUL :hmmm:
New Rule Legalizing 4-valve Harley-Davidson V-Rod Meeting Resistance ?

Harley-Davidson is getting a new four valve engine configuration in 2009, as stated in the newly printed NHRA rulebook.

Suzuki proponents are crying foul and Buell users are just crying.

Suzuki proponents believe Harley-Davidson officials benefited from the process NHRA officials used to approve a new four valve Suzuki engine. They also believe that Harley-Davidson's official marketing status is behind the general lack of knowledge concerning the new engine configuration.

Did the rule change only come to light by a casual look through of the new rulebook? That is what some in the Suzuki camp are claiming.
