Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race

[Steven J]

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.
