Yes - 24

People these days dont understand anything about the rules, or why anyone would want to use stock stuff and go racing with it.

WJ,
Yeah that's just the nature of the beast with Ford FE's especially 428CJ's.

Not a chance. No drivers anymore, just a bunch of automatons. Could race these "super" cars with remotes from the stands. Yup, I'm 60, and I miss the times of experimentation.

64 years old, and I say it will never be same again...

Like was said here, the age of experimentation is dead. Everyone wants what everyone else has....... And guys just don't think outside of the box anymore... My son (Drooze) who is 38 does, but he grew up with me telling him to stop listening to conventional wisdow and just because something used to be true, doesn't mean that it is still true.. So question everything, and decide for yourself. That is where innovation comes from.

Yes, 23. I think the fan base for sportsman racing is non existent in the newer generation. Its pretty rare to find a person like myself that can't wait to start racing in stock eliminator.
Agreed, I'm 18

Yes, absolutely.

Age 58

As always, size matters:

In our youth, we started out under the hood at the local service station, and bragging rights in the 60's were about the size of your carburetor.

Today, for many, a fart pipe defines performance, and our youth often start out button-pushing instead of wrenching and never go back. The claim to fame is now the size of your hard drive.

Sadly, most cars today are simply commodities, unable to draw an ounce of passion.

P.S. I actually overheard a customer in a NAPA store recently ask for a higher-amperage chip for his alternator!
