Default Re: We control our own destiny

Good points brought up in this thread.

I was too young to remember the late 60's and early 70's class racing.
I got hooked on drag racing in 1976 and stated getting National Dragster in 1977.

I was in awe looking at the pics of the Stockers and all the Super Stockers with the big fat tires. (especially when I saw them on open trailers)
However....that was at a time when those cars were the only game in town.

Fast forward to now.
Young guys can make silly horsepower so easy now with turbos and superchargers. (even easier with nitrous)

The heads up 8.5, and 10.5 races are proof .
The young gearheads flock to watch those 8 second 1,200 plus horsepower beasts. (on Drag Radials)

It's hard to top that.
