Excellent post OneFarmer!! I too noticed when I got a junior for my kid 13 years ago that there were kids having fun and driving "junk" (like mine) and there were others who were very serious and had more in the junior than my whole operation, lol!!

You're right, "entry level" is a really loose term, my older kid was into basketball, had size 16EE shoes which we couldn't get locally and had to get his sneakers from "twobigfeet.com" I **** you not. $375 for a pair of sneakers!! Some kids had nice sneakers and went to away games and others had "entry level" sneakers and couldn't afford the away games.

"I don't think there is a entry level class at all. I think it is more of what level to do you want to enter a class. "

Great point. Only reason I'm stepping up to a stocker after all these years is...if not now, when? I've always loved them, I want to try. If I'm handed my butt every race and can't hit the index, etc, then I'll bow out and recognize that I don't have the talent or ability to compete at that level. No shame, just reality. (of course I'm not smart enough to quit when behind so I'll be the guy with the ratty looking car mixed in with the S/SS jewelry, lol!!)
