I guess I will end my comments on this post with a couple of questions.
Why do people complain about the high cost of a motor and not want to evaluate a way to curb the costs?
Why do people complain about the soft factors of this motor or that factory car and not want to consider the lb. / cubic inch methods more?
Why do people express concerns about NO crowd in the stands for points meets when S and SS are the major competitors and not admit the dial in program might be the issue?
Why do racers who competed in TOP/STK and TOP/SS explain it was the most fun they had in years racing heads up instead of dial in?
Why do racers comment on the fact the majority of the current racers are at retirement age and attracting new blood seems difficult but not want to help create an entry level full size car or class to attract more people?
Even more interesting is why people want to comment negatively when it would not affect the car they currently run but might offer a cheaper alternative later?
The basic question many have is why does Dick Butler who does not currently race care?
Friends Drag Racing is a wonderful sport and I always want to offer thoughts which might bring it back to where it has been in popularity and can return for the future at the Sportsman racer level.
Thank you.....for participating in the thinking and discussion.
