I am usually one who does not like change. When a system is working good, I believe in leaving it alone.

That being said, if PINKS decides to run a Stock/SS program in front of an audience that would never consider going to a points meet or a National event, there may be some younger spectators that would be amazed at how a car with a Q-Jet on a cast iron intake could leave the starting line with it front wheels in the air. Or how a car with a stock interior could run as fast as one that is gutted out with only a racing seat and no dash. Or how a late model fuel injected stocker that looks like the one sitting in the parking lot could use 9" tires and run side by side with a '69 427 Camaro.

Since the average "never-seen-a-Stock/SS-racecar" spectator will not come to watch us race in our normal venues, we could spread our horizons by taking our racecars to them. But if you're going to someone else's playground, you have play the game their way. Then if any of the spectators decide to come watch our cars on our playground, we show them our way of racing.
