The Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race™ is an event for stock muscle cars that have few modifications, like when they rolled off the assembly line. This two-day race is held in September at Mid-Michigan Motorplex, a beautiful drag strip near Stanton, Michigan. On the first day, drivers have nearly unlimited track time to test and tune their cars. They run two qualifying time trials, which are used to pair the drivers. The pairs race in a best-of-three mini shootout the next day, creating many close races. There's a friendly, fun atmosphere here. Come race your car, or simply enjoy watching the great matches.

Bumpers must retain all original bracing and reinforcements. Inner fender panels, front and rear, must be retained. Factory hood scoops, ram air, and fresh air induction must be correct for the year, make, and horsepower claimed. No after-market or homemade induction units of any kind are allowed. The factory air cleaner assembly must be retained and in place during all runs. No after-market air cleaners allowed.
Interior seating, trim, and materials must be correct for the year and model claimed.
