nhra screwed the sport compact racing up. It got off to a great start. Then they let the high dollar guys come in and dominate. You don't have a race car but if you did how would you like it if you had to run a couple of cars in your class that had a half million dollar budget for the season. It discouraged most of the racers. And they wound up with 3 and 4 car fields.
They did it to themselves. The sport compact racers or fans are there they just have no place to race.

No disrespect and dont want to get off topic, but what you said in your last post is exactly how most people in AA and A/S feel about the new Mustang! With the full force backing of Ford how can anybody compete!! I understand that the odds of getting a heads up is small but stock and ss is perfomance based and (most) strive to be the fastest in their class!

just my 2 ents worth

I believe it is totally different The mustangs are race cars the older cars had their hp done with mufflers, very small cams, stock pistons, stock fuel pumps Etc.Etc.
If you put the older cars back to the way they came from the factory. I would agree 100%.
Even the race hemis and max wedge cars came with cast iron manifolds.
The early cars have an awful lot of enhancements done by the racers. The mustangs are done by the factory they come with race headers, a sfi balancer etc.
Yes they are going to make a lot more power than the factory number. But so does a 427 chevy or a street hemi.
How much money does it take to build a competitive a or aa stocker. I'm sure you will wind up close to if not more than the mustangs.

I was over thirty and had owned two Neons. LOL! I met Darrell and Mike in Gainesville at an import shootout before they had the SRT, both stand up guys. Scott Mohler's parents were there waiting on Scotts arrival, they were good people also.
