Refer to the "Under the Index for Under a Grand" build-up thread. Mission already accomplished.

Hope I'm not nit picking here Michael, but a good percentage of this list are second or third generation racers from the same families that we've been seeing for decades.

I have never been asked the origin of my racing career when paying my entry fee. New blood is new blood, and it seems to me like there's quite a bit of it. Everybody counts, everybody matters. It is not surprising at all, and is quite reasonable to expect that the majority of new blood, particularly at the level of Stock and Super Stock, is going to come from racing families. You're not going to a concert (unless its PJ North), county fair, or amusement park and saying, "Hey! Who wants to drag race?"
The next generation of racers are actually quite remarkable! Look at these kids... everything from engineers to hip-hop artists. Don't overlook them. Celebrate them!
Oh, BTW, congratulations to Aaron Allison (Harvard grad, 30) and Bradley University student Rylee Stufflebeam on your National event wins today!
