Nice job, congratulations

Re: Why Class racing dies slowly
 

Afraid Denver is not an indication on the pulse of sport as it always has low car counts. Columbus divisional 102 stockers 79 super stock.

Re: Why Class racing dies slowly
 

Thank you. It actually was a shock.

Gentlemen, I appreciate the place to discuss my view of Racing Class in Stk and SS.
There is a place for every type of racing in these eliminators.
I appreciate all your input and opinions. I appreciate you listening to my thoughts.
Lets end this discussion with a hand shake and a thank you at this time.
Good Luck and I hope to see you all at the races..

As far as crate engines go in stock cars if you have the money & know the right people you can buy the special head bolts & intake bolts that cant be duplicated . So why would that work in NHRA any better ? If you have claimer engines the guy with the money just keeps buying the fast guys stuff until he gets tired of building new engines.

Who Builds a car for just for class racing and not for the bracket part of it ?

Re: Why Class racing dies slowly
 

Just left the divisional at Columbus... Final was heads up in Superstock with at least 2 other heads ups in the 3rd and 4th rounds...If you built a motor for the " Bracket " part of it ....you left early .
