Default Re: Coming Soon.....

Its amazing the resistance that is being posted on here against Daren getting this combo approved. If we want to move forward with class racing, this is how it's done.
Not everyone wants a fwd Escort or Cavalier. Nor do they want to pay 30k for a non junk 69 camaro to turn it into a race car. Alot of racers started as car guys, so they want a cool car in their eyes to start out with, just not a car that fits as a good combo.
I understand the rules are moving farther and farther away from the 1970s stock rules, but if you dont use those rules to your advantage, you will be left behind. We have a guy in D1 that probably has the most legal stocker in the country and would probably pass 1970s rules. You know what that gets him? Bottom of the sheet, and at bad weather tracks a designated pair dialing the index he cant cover.
There is no award for that. I get it, cam rules, transmission rules. Roller rockers, "Enhanced" cylinder heads and many many other things have pushed us farther away. But maybe something like this Supra will get the interest of a younger person, or maybe not. But fwd 90s cars and 2bbl Mavericks definitely won't either.
