I'm sorry that you live in a region where you can't race for decent money and there aren't a lot of people that understand or appreciate S/SS cars. It is not that way everywhere.
How are S/SS and .90 classes even remotely tied together?  Why would you tell 150+ cars to stay home to pick up 10? |
I'm saying there is a desire for racers to participate on the national event level. Prestige, ego, money. If there were no other way to race such a venue without having a pro class car, you would see more entry level stockers.
However, I know NHRA would never drop the super classes so it's a moot point.
Question: Did IHRA find that crate motor stock brought new blood into S/SS? I'm wondering if the statistics show an increase in car counts for Stock. Do the participants generally favor it?
