"""020 or better the whole way to win races nowdays"""

a year or so ago,,,I told you guys that this was going to happen,,,,I even posted average RTs of what I could find,,I think the years of 1999,2000,,,,2001 and 2002 of selected races and then the average RT`s of 2005 and beginning of 2006,,,,,,,If I can find that topic,,I `ll repost it,,,,,,,,I think I deleted all my post because 99% of racers had the opinion that I was crying and need to shut up and learn how to race......the results I found were staggering,,,,,that in just a year,,,most all of the stock professionals had suddenly learn how to trim a consistent .03 off their RT`s in a national event setting,,,,,,,,,,and most of these guys doing so had other pro tree cars, whether it was a super car of some type or superstocker.........one of the most alarming things I found was the disappearance of slow index cars........now this typf of increase in RT pointed to a different method of racing,,,either everyone is cheating (which I dont believe in one second) or everyone is moving to faster cars to "pro tree race",,,,,,,,,,sure enough,,,thats what it is

This is just an opinion,,what you will soon see in the near future,, everyone that races seriously in stock,,,more heads up races because even as we speak,,,racers that dont have A- E cars are selling what they do have and finding them so they can be competitive.......Ive noticed that on here and other sites,,more slower cars are finding their way on the market at a lower price

If steps arent taken to stop this spending,,,it will be nearly impossible to be competitive without spending 75k for a stocker...I really believe that the elimination of the 2steps and button is a step in the rite direction ....time will tell I guess
