I know most of the younger generation currently racing at Norwalk and DWAY 42 in West Salem as I have raced every week in and out for 10 years since Jr Dragsters and every one of them thoroughly enjoys bracket racing and almost every one of them wants a 7 second dragster and every one of thems goal is to run in the .90 classes either Super Comp or Super Gas and they all love delay box racing with throttle stops and the whole every young kid wants to run heads up 10.5 or radial classes are highly exagerated. I refuse to run a delay box as I would rather leave off the bottom bulb and drive the car like past racers have. My father has never raced before and I started driving a Jr Dragster that he bought for me(including trailer) and he has always supported me and we bought a Bracket tube chassied Pinto that I have raced for the past 3 or 4 years(sooo please not all kids in Drag Racing are second generation racers) and he is also a big fan of Super Stock and thats our ultimate goal! Heres an ideer and dont slaughter me for it but How about a older car with a new engine GT class? Its all the rage in car building to put a new LS GM engine in an old Camaro or a Mod Motor in a old fastback Mustang sooo why not in Stock or Super Stock? Most kids I went to school with somewhat know new cars but love muscle cars and I always got alot of praise driving my 78 Dodge to school and I think it would be very popular just thinking out loud.....

There is nothing wrong tith the index classes they are part of drag racing and as A a Racer on any level I would never discourage any young drive to make it to where they want to be. everyone must know that our sport has two people drivers and passangers. now if your not a 2nd or 3rd gen racer than you have the abillity to set a path for your legacy and if you land in the .90 classes than make sure that if there comes a day that s/c comes under fire than they have the passion to fight for it..........
