I doubt any carburated stocker of the last 40 years could pass an emissions test, especially on leaded racing fuel.. lol
And aren't the AA, BB, CC classes basically for the newer factory cars? Maybe need a DD,EE huh?
Also why doesn't someone who just went out and paid somewhere between $105k and $250k for a stock eliminator car deserve to qualify top half?
And the big three need to continue to find ways to generate revenue or they will have to borrow more taxpayer money(lol) or several people will be out of work.
Hey NHRA racing is expensive, hell its $500-600 just to go to one of the closest LODRS points race. Its gotten beyond my wallets threshhold for pain, and I've invested several hundred thousand dollars over the past 20 years and taken several losses. But I have accepted that it is just beyond me now and I will run when I can, where I can and if I can. Sounds like several others here are just going to have to face the same reality. Its a rich mans game, they do not care that much, go big or go home isn't that what they say on the big tv at the races?. Theres always bracket racing, supporting your local track, and possibly reducing your stress and debt level. I wish everyone the best
