Thanks for expressing the feelings of of many of us old timers that were firmly against seeing the change.
I enjoy a unique position of competing in Super Gas but working primarily on Stock /SuperStock class cars .
Although there are light years of difference between the Super classes and Stock /Super Stock , the desire of serious competitors to find the "combination " is the same .
Yes, Class racers do try to "maneuver " horsepower because they have been "rewarded" for their hard work, but it all eventually equals back out, most of the time.
Winners ,and those who truly desire to be winners NEVER stop working on their combination to improve it ,and themselves .
My take on the tree change is the same as yours , the desire to experiment and try new ideas has been lost by many .
