Pure Stock Rules Question

[napa68]

I have been reading through the published rules for Pure Stock. What is mentioned about fuel systems is carbs. What is not mentioned is factory fuel injection. Would that be allowed?

I am in the methodical process of collecting parts for my 62 Corvette that I would like to race in Pure Stock. Just want to know before I start to build around the "fuelie" platform.

[napa68]

After searching around, perhaps I have answered my own question. I see the NHRA recognized the engine and it seems to me the Pure Stock rules package is heavily influenced by the NHRA Stock rules. I still would like to get some direction and confirmation about using the F.I. unit. It would be a struggle to get a decent amount of air through and air cleaner like this.

This being the first time I have considered a build like this, I am starting here. If there is a better place to go for answers, please let me know.

it's legal to run.
my brother ran FI on his '62 vette at pure stocks in 2005. ran best 13.45 at 105 and had a lot left on the table.

Show up at Stanton Mi. this Friday and Saturday and they'll answer any question you want to ask, right there in person.

Best <span style="text-decoration: line-through">car show</span> racing there is, imho.

I really wanted to go and was planning accordingly. I have some business conflicts and just cannot pull it off.

Pontiac, Buick, olds, Chevy , AMC, Mopars, Fords, Mercury, and Studes! Pick a dream car and it probably has raced there! I will be bringing my battleship north with a load of Goodyears. I will be in the grass pits and enjoying a great weekend of cars and friends!

Unless someone (think L88 Corvette here) wants to show what they can do and rips off a high 10.90's and then puts it in the trailer. Believe it or not, that has been discussed. Probably won't happen, but it is truly possible with the good air and a well prepped track.

Can't wait for sun up.

Staying at the host hotel this year.

I so wanted to be there this year, but had surgery yesterday and couldn't travel - per doctor's orders. (reattached a ruptured tendon in my arm) I will make it next year, one way or another!

[mockingbird812]

Ouch - get better soon. Hope it wasn't your shifting arm!

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

PSMCDR is awesome, one orange L88 Vette got disqualified for going 11.492 His wifes orange L88 is still in the running.......

Great weather, lots of fun.

Put it on your 2014 calendars now.

The first car in PSMCDR history to get disqualified for going too fast was Julie Penningtons L88 69 Corvette. Her hubby was making a test run after she complained it felt &quot;twitchy&quot; with the added 300 pounds meant to slow the car down. So Terry ran it down the track. He said it felt alright to him..... but he ran 11.492. Oops! Too fast. Terry and Julie knew what would happen if the car ran quicker than 11.50 and they didn't have any problem with getting disqualified. Julie wasn't happy with Terry getting her booted, but she had no problem with the ruling by the PSMCDR and the track itself. The other L88 you saw there (the red one) belonged to Ed Keim. He is friends with Terry and has something (partner?) to do with Terry's car lot. Ed ran an 11.51 Friday morning in <span style="font-size: 14pt">REALLY</span> good air. He was at the 1000 foot mark when he let off cause the car was going really fast and he didn't want to get the boot. The rest of the weekend was just Ed playing <span style="font-style: italic">Mr Bracket Racer</span> trying to keep from breaking out. That saved him since he didn't go quicker than 11.50 all weekend. November 2nd, 2013 will be the F.A.S.T. fall meet at Martin Michigan (US131 Dragway). That event won't have any breakout rule, should have great air, so one might expect the 69 L88 Corvettes and ZL1 69 Camaros to go lots faster than 11.50. May even see some high 10's, but no guarantees of that. Julie's best run was an 11.02 or 11.06 a year ago at a fall meet somewhere near the east coast so anything is possible. Stay tuned.

Oh yah, this weeks meet saw the Corvettes with fully treaded F70x15 tires, no bald tires were used for better traction. Seems the Corvettes can hook up on snot if need be. Julies car even had a 1.70 60 foot short time at this event on normal bias plies, so miracles can and do happen.
