CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - How the factory "Package" cars may save Stock

This thread amazes me.

I've read a ton of threads here from the "Class Racing Establishment" about the downfall of class racing. Seems that two reasons are given: 1) lack of new people; 2) new factory ringer cars with underrated engines.

So you guys attack a guy wanting to build a new car and actually RACE it an entire 1320 feet? Wouldn't that start adjusting the HP factor right away? Isn't that how the system works?

And then the other DP guys get on board begging him to ALSO be a sandbagger (cheater)? If you have a HP advantage that's unfair, and you continually race to 1000' then bag the race in order to maintain your unfair advantage - you're a cheater. So apparently 98 DP owners are cheaters.

And everyone who isn't a DP owner on this thread is bashing Drooze for having an unfair advantage AND telling him they hope he has some "respect" for other racers and doesn't run his car out the backdoor so everyone can keep their unfair advantage.

WTF?

Do all you non-DP racers want the DP cars to have an unfair advantage or not?

If you're not careful, all your 1963-1973 S/SS cars will be stuck racing at nothing but Goodguys events for no money, no recognition, and no fans, at 6 events a year. Or you can take them all bracket racing. That's all you're doing anyway except when you're sandbagging (cheating) to maintain an index.

How many of you are new to this in the last 10 years? That's right. No new blood = death of class racing. And this clique sure isn't very open to any neew blood. Let's see how many guys who've know each other and been racing since the 60's jump all over me for this post.

Any side bets?

Change your attitude toward new cars and new racers or live with the results. You'll be to blame.
