They, with few exceptions, have no interest in doing "more with less". They would rather have 600WHP and still run 15's because a) they can't stage a car, much less make a pass, b)it wouldn't hook if they could, and they don't understand why, and c) it would probably throw CV axles like Tebow throws touchdowns. I'd bet a stack that even if the cars were in the guide, you wouldn't see a significant increase in car count due to them. Hell if my memory serves there were more B/SA cars at Indy than there where cars total at most of those import races (not counting the bracket cars).

Chad you are right about a lot of them. Not all. I'm 63 and I can remember doing some "smart" stuff with my roadrunner. Starting line in reverse was one of them.
I wasn't born with a shifter in one hand and a wrench in the other. I learned it the hard way.
And I have even learned more than a thing or 2 from these "kids"
If you lump everone in their age group as idiots. Do you have kids?
The reason the import stuff didn't work is totally nhra's fault. It started off great, but nhra made all the "classes" pro classes. The factories got involved and chased everyone else out. Do you remember Lingenfelter? You guys complain about the CJ's and the DP's. Well racing the imports against the factories was like that but on steroids.
Someone said I should worry? I guess so, if you or some of the other heros on here built a car like mine I wouldn't have a chance.
