Not only do I agree with this quote, and all of the others like it, this makes me more glad that Sunoco is still allowed/used in Stock Eliminator. It's cheaper in cost, it works better in my stocker, it has a longer storage life, and I'm not supporting the VP monopoly! Thanks to all of the racers and merchants, who choose to carry Sunoco, or Torco fuels---more importantly, "I THANK GOD THAT I DON'T RACE A NITRO CAR!!!
Jarn05, I also agree with your thoughts of NHRA since Winston left (plus Diamond P Sports for that matter). I may be getting a bit off of the primary subject, but let me ask you all this...
1. How many of you prefer the way our categories are shown on tv now as opposed to the days of TNN & Diamond P?
2. How many of you prefer the way our categories are treated with regards to entry fees, field sizes, etc., compared to when the Winston Drag Race Series was in charge?
3. How many of you miss the days when Avgas was legal in our classes?
4. Whatever affects the pro classes now, will soon adversely affect our classes too, if you don't believe me check out the entry list currently for Stock & Super Stock at this years Mile High Nationals---13 out of a possible 60 entries in Stock, and 5 out of 60 (OMG!!!), in Super Stock with Grade 3's being allowed to enter as of yesterday??? I don't ever recall the fields being that small this close to the event, do you "Hawk"???
Don't get me wrong I still love Stock/Super Stock racing just as much as back in the 70's (when I started racing at Bandimere Speedway, and Drag Way Denver ((circa 1975), but it sure seemed a lot easier even back in the 90's when there was no fuel monopoly like now (Hawk, Woodro, Jim, anybody correct me if I'm wrong), but to borrow from the late great actor "Carrol O'Connor", "THOSE WERE THE DAYS"!!!
