Default Re: Another low car count?

"As for the low car count in stock and super stock compared to the index classes I think alot of it might be that it seems that there seems to be more fun to be had in index racing, the 8.90/9.90 racers seem to welcome new competition were it seems that in stock/super stock no one talks to outsiders. Maybe the stock/super stock racers needs to start taking some time and visiting with the local bracket racers and junior racers and get then interested in class racing.

Chris, not every young bracket racer or "junior" has the assets to race a 60K+ .90 car and either Super Street or a lower class stocker is actually a better venue for someone getting started. My personal experience after decades of brackets and just getting a stocker a year ago has been that stock/super stock racers are equally willing to help with questions. Think it is in all our best interests to cultivate new racers in class racing including .90 classes or the ultra affordable Unleashed classes will be the only game in town.
