Re: Great news! New NHRA rules (pdd000)
Haha...
NO you wont...It applies pretty much to Stock production vehicles. Hence the Pure stock moniker..It is very explicit in stating that any power adders etc will put it into the current "Summit rules".
This is to pretty much allow Vipers and other HP vehicles have some fun.

Re: Great news! New NHRA rules (MikeV)
Wow – that’s great news!!! 
I know they say 100% stock and most guys here are modded, but I’m hoping this will allow them to be more lenient towards cars that look stock.
Hey, I got a stock ride, it just sounds loud that’s all

Re: Great news! New NHRA rules (Dylan Savage)
I'd say it depends on much the cam lopes and whether you can pass it off as stock.
"Uh, yeah, it does idle really rough"
"What? No, it doesn't have a cam. I think a few of the plug wires are bad."

Re: Great news! New NHRA rules (MikeV)
The new rules, however, apply only to stock OEM-type production vehicles. Once any power adder or performance hardware is used, it then must follow the existing Summit E.T. safety requirements. Otherwise, any pure-stock, street-legal car running 11.50 or slower (example: stock Dodge Viper) would be governed by the proposed new Pure Stock Street Legal rules, providing the vehicle remains completely OEM stock.

Re: Great news! New NHRA rules (runamuk)
Stock requirments or not - THIS is a step in the right direction!!! Ok so I will purge in the parkinglot 
- I am glad to see they ok'd "Competition Exhaust" I am still a little confused as to why they don't just say 11.5 and over you are fine - Stock or not... But maybe that is next!
I would imagine as long as you do not flaunt it - you can pretty much just run....

Thats just an inferrence, I am no expert.
I'm hopeful the way it reads that any stock "looking" vette without a sc/turbo/nos/c5r block might make it in. At least for testNtune or bracket racing anyway, I'd have my ducks in a row if I were competing in a serious event. Might be a boost for the Darton blocks over the C5rs there...
Anyway MIR is an IHRA track, anyone at an NHRA track keep us posted. Isn't E-Town an NHRA track?

I didn't see a date this will be effective, however this is great news.
Tech never listens to a car run, they just ask question. You answer appropriately and there should not be a problem.

Re: Great news! New NHRA rules (wallstAL)
That's great news, but I bet they're pretty strict on the "pure stock" rules. They don't want to be liable when a "pure stock" Civic flips at 120 MPH and kills somebody.
I personally hope they expand it to other areas as well. As it stands no, I can't do jack crap...

Re: Great news! New NHRA rules
It is a step in the right direction and it is up to individual track owners to implement as they see fit.
How they will enforce rules remains to be seen.
Looks like no air filter changes are allowed so all they gotta do is aske you to open the hood and they will see you non-stock air box and you are done if they want to be strict.
The rule can be implemented immediately. Englishtown is looking into it now.

Re: Great news! New NHRA rules (Dylan Savage)
What does power adders "etc" mean? If you have a heads/cam package is that a power adder or would you still be able to run 11.50's ?
