Wow, really beating all the dead horses here aren't we?

Locally S/SS is doing great and has grown each year for the last 5-6 especially. As far as understanding handicap racing, coleydog nailed it when he said "Like a Cheeta trying to catch an Impala".
Not sure why people think its so confusing, one car leaves first and the other chases it down. To think people in the stands can "see" a guy cross the stripe by half a fender and break out and then not understand how he didn't win is bull****. Like everyone, you watch the cars and as they get to the stripe, the light comes on telling you who won.
Cheeta chases the impala and when it pounces after running it down, the light either comes on that he got it, or the light comes on in the impala's lane saying the cheeta didn't get it.

As far as the rest of it, get all the cars from '96 on classed like was mentioned before and you will see more participation. Go on kijiji or craigs list and buy a 2005-2010 whatever for cheap and build a car. Right now you have to look for a 20+ year old car to start from and here in the rust belt they are few and far between.

Like others have also said...your mileage may vary. lol.
