I understand everybodys point but like the first guy I would someday like to class race. I have the means just not the time or knowledge. I am a mopar guy so I love the new dp's but would build a max wedge since I was born after their high point. Nhra needs to move them into their own classes so we can get back to the variety that s/ss brings. Where are the guys like john shaul this week? Perhaps if the Dutch is a hit then glendora will listen.

Re: Back from Indy-what's happened to Stock Eliminator??
 

Not the way it is now. Cars never sold for street use were not allowed in Stock Eliminator. It had to be legal to license it and drive it on the street in all 50 states. Not any more.


Go try to get the specs to race a production street legal new Ford Mustang to race in Stock. Then you'll see the difference.

Re: Back from Indy-what's happened to Stock Eliminator??
 

How do you ever expect Class racing to move on if you do not appeal to the next generation? Money or not, most kids do not know anything about carbs or distributors. But they do know how to lap top tune and injector tables and maps.

All the whine and cheese here. Why not just get another hobby. Most of you do not even know what it is like to be a fan and not be able to participate. But yet you load up and be there days early why the average fan works his knuckle to the bones to afford to come and watch you race. You have all priviledges and others only dream to have something old or new.....

take it all for granite as others are happy that new cars appeal to the younger guys to keep it alive....

they could always go home and play x-box and Black Ops.....

BE THANKFUL!!!!!!.......others that you do not know thank YOU!!!!!! old or new cars..

Chassis we aren't saying get rid of the new cars, believe me I enjoyed talking to dave thomas at e-town. His v-10 is sweet, but I don't want to hurt guys like ken miele because his cobra can't compete in aa/sa. Make is equal and bring them all in new camaros also. Pump up the pay outs and put some time and.energy into the sportsmen and you will get the new generation in. I am part of the new generation that likes turbo cars hell I have a turbo suv. Bring in the front drive cars let them have.fun too. The joy of stock is you can find anything look at Ed with his amc. How many guys want him in rd 1?

Re: Back from Indy-what's happened to Stock Eliminator??
 

Heres my thought on the new cars I dont mind the new cars coming in to play put them in a class of there own Drag Paks and CJs together in one class of there own. AA/SA and A/SA is becoming a Jr Pro Stock

Re: Back from Indy-what's happened to Stock Eliminator??
 

I have stayed away for quite a few years (since 1990) but attended that Gatornationals this year, and was very disappointed in the Stock and Super Stock fields. They were small with several classes having no cars and many having just one.
I, for one, used to love winning my class (heads up / no breakout) over several good cars from around the Country. To ME, It was better than the Eliminator racing because of the handicap and breakout rule (mostly the breakout and dial under rules) in the Eliminator races. But then, that's ME - just saying !! ............. and I don't need to hear from those who might criticize my opinion - it is MY OPINION, and I respect yours !!!
