Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race

[Peter]

OK I agree with enough money and time you could rebody without anyone knowing. It would really have to be a high dollar car to go to such lengths and I still don't agree but I see what your saying. Glad your leaving your Biscayne as is. I think the history and character is more important than having a perfect floorboard for show. Everyone goes crazy over a cars history so why not leave a little of it there!

I'm not sure how "interested" you guys might be in this, but I found this while checking up on the "competetion": http://buickgsca.com/ubb/Forum23/HTML/000056.html

This is a thread on the Buick GS Club of America ( http://buickgsca.com/ ). I found it while trying to find a couple of the Buick owners that I saw in Michigan, and this thread covers how some of them feel about the Pure Stock Drags. They seem to feel that the Buick's are just naturally faster than the other makes, and that they diserve more credit...any thoughts?

Members of the Buick Gran Sport Club of America have been very active in the development of the "stock appearing" GS. Although they apparently detuned their cars somewhat for the Pure Stock race, most of the other modifications are not going to be visible without an engine tear down. I'm surprised that more of the Chevrolet crowd hasn't gotten into the stock appearing modifications. The Buick guys have done a lot of testing/development toward these goals.

Although the goal of the PSMCDR is to feature highly tuned pure stock vehicles, unfortunately, the trend seems to be going towards who has the fastest car. Other than getting involved in an overly complicated tech inspection, probably not much can be done.

One possibility, as previously mentioned, would be to have a pure stock class and a stock appearing class. Or, separate two classes by ET, one for the 12 sec cars, and another for the 13.00 and above.
