I quoted Mr. Perrone because he was to first to comment but this is in rely to all the people who agreed with his logic...
Let me start out by saying I in no way was complaining about not being fast enough our FIRST day testing. This entire post was meant to show that what NHRA has done with the indexes in this terrible econimic times has done nothing to improve the sport. I know racing takes work trust me. We now have 7 car in the family that we must maintain and we are at the track around 45 weekends a year... you dont have to lecture me on that aspect. I also know that there are things we can easily do or work with to get our particular combo under the index. This was not a personal gripe even though I used my situation as an example.
Do you people want the class you've worked so hard for so long in to just disappear because of lack of participation?? With the attitude you've come across with I doubt you will show up to a local bracket show with your "FAST"stocker. that would be embarrassing wouldn't it? What im saying is we need to find ways to make this class exciting to the person thinking about getting into the sport. We need to give them more of an incentive to put in all the work that we have put in to make our "stock" cars run fast enough. How many new young faces do you see in the class that will be able to support the class when the older stock/SS guys decide to retire from the sport? Instead of coming across like such and disrespectful a sshole maybe you should think of the future of the sport.... just a thought but what do I know im a kid with no money who doesn't work hard enough...

Thanks to all the people who actually care about this sport and offer encouragement to new faces.. we will be fine i was just looking to see how many other people were in a similar situation due to the index changes..
Engine builder- Me... We got advise on what was legal and what was not. Nothing extremely trick(except lifters). local shop did the machine I assembled. not my first rodeo but definently nothing trick.
