I invested in a California Car Cover last year. Got the 'gust protectors' and security cable, and everything was intact even after the severe storms that came through last week.

Somewhere along the line there was a generation gap for the class racers........May have started along the time cell phones ,computers and wieee- wieee games got started....I hope that my son's son will stay as interested in drag racing as he is now....Some of us are still trying to live in the past (including me ).....I can remember going to the mall and look at a few cars that were racing in our area that weekend.....Also there was a lot more promotion for sportsman cars than there is now.................I would personally like to see more advertisements on tv with superstockers and stockers dragging the back bumper...
The first thing that caught my attention on the Fast and Furious movie ad was that Charger popping the wheelie , Bullet movie smoking the tires and that 4-speed hitting gears........... told you i was old school.

We'd need more classes, and about 40 pages added to the guide and the blueprint section that too many already cannot or will not read.

We do not need foreign cars, we do not need pure stock.

We do need to be promoted. We need to be sold as a big part of the show. Until that happens, it doesn't matter how many cars and classes are added.

And, as said before, classes were added for foreign cars. Nobody came, nobody cared. There is no need to do that again.

That is all a LSx seems to be. We have to carry our old motocross tool box just to work on it.

Re: We control our own destiny
 

The problem I see today is the way we race, how exciting is it to watch a car launch then stop then nail it again or run to the 1000' and run 100mph at the finish line BOREING & STUPID! Turn them SUCKERS LOOSE and RACE stock and super stock used to be a performance based class where you run what it would run and if you were fast enough you might get a national record that really ment something.The record section in the dragster looks like drag review.Put the sprit of competition back into racing make your performance mean something again. No more 1000' racing.Screw the AHFS.Stupid is as stupid does.
That's all I got to say about that.

There you go.

My favorite movie.....that's all I have to say about that...

Re: We control our own destiny
 

I was told by my Father that in Stock or Super Stock you must take advantage of everything you can from the front bumper to the rear bumper. Everything must work FOR you not AGAINST you, and you need to know all the rules and use them to your advantage. That is what I think the spirit of the racing is, but most folks just say "I can put this power adder on and run the same as you". They don't understand racing and tomorrow something new and shiney will attract their attention.

I do agree about the open trailers, used to watch them roll through town and knew by the direction they were going as to where there might be some races. I just feel there is too much liability out there to have something lost or stolen or damaged.
