Billy, I STUMBLED on this feed by accident, but reading it REMINDED ne why I stopped racing stock in the old days, when you had the NOVA. I had been considering getting back into it again, but seeing all this stuff is still getting worse rather then getting better gave me a wake up call.THANKS

Ya know Chuck, there are very few Racers making any money at this anymore but there are plenty of fine, intelligent, friendly people to be found in this sport (oops, hobby). The friendships and camaraderie that I have felt and seen over the years still makes dealing with the NHRA worth it!

So If I catch up on my dues, I can join the club again?

Jump in the pool! The water's fine. But maybe don't start by jumping in the deep end!

Re: The Demise Of Class Eliminations
 

The shallow end of stock is deeper than expected, but is refreshing!!!

Brother tell me about it

Re: The Demise Of Class Eliminations
 

Many of my best friendships have been made with the racers at a drag strip

Whenever I go to a Divisional or a Stock/Super Stock combo race here in Div. 6 it is ALWAYS a great time. The conversation always starts with a handshake or hug. From there is goes to How are you doing and what have you been up to lately. More like a family reunion than just friends meeting up. Life is very good.

Best part for me, even though I haven't had race car for many years, is always the fun times and shared respect. I now call many people that I only knew of - part of MY DRAG RACING FAMILY.

Which is the deep end?
I would say it’s deep for any class to run near the top. We all have pretty much the same expenses. They may drop off a little for fewer cylinders and they may be a little higher for scarcity or collectible value. So I always say build something you like instead of something you think you can afford.

Re: The Demise Of Class Eliminations
 

This is very true. If I raced like I really want to race in Super Gas I'd need something that could go 9.90 at 170. Pretty sure you could build a bitchin' S/SS car for the same money. I can't afford either so its 9.90 at 139 for me :)

There is really no advantage in SG running high MPH. Its all about the package. Better tree and closer to the dial wins every time. Its a numbers game. Dial It, Cut it, drive it!!!
