A new idea for the Super Stock GT Class

[Jeff Teuton]

Don, there is an old Country & Western song "What Part of No Don't You Understand" which I will send you a copy.

Now can I build that Fiat 850 GT/A car with the SRT8 Hemi I've been daydreaming about ever since I hear that Mopar was gonna merge with Fiat???

[Don Kennedy]

Jeff: Believe me I get it for sure big time “ BUT” but I am not sure others see what I see ,hey I could be wrong but most likely not(in my opinion of course LOL at me )

If the American Car Companies are no longer are involved in Racing Then What???

Who will support Super Stock or even Pro Stock racing ??

Heck Pontiac is No longer around so what happens to The Pontiac Pro Stock Cars?

If Chevy is no longer involved in Racing then what ??

If Mopar is no longer involved in Drag Racing then what ???

Does anyone else have a plan to keep Super Stock racing going?

Or does everyone think The American Car Companies will still be involved?

I think they will drop the Performance end of all of the American Car Companies big time oh wait Pontiac is toast, Chevy has no ,zero plan to even be concerned about performance so far only a overweight Camaro and now Chrysler is owned by a foreign car company ???

Now Ford is on top of the performance plan which is good for racing .

So all of us don’t like the idea of just using another body style to use in Super Stock , this is not a good thing in my opinion cause soon all our cars will be not even sold to the public in any way, even the names will be gone so open up the options of at least using a body that is being sold on Monday after we raced it on Sunday as a options for racers to do

Its time for superstock/ GT to evolve. People who are racing these WRX's, SRT 4's, and EVO's have money and spend it. Change the rules for GT and allow 4 and 6 cylinder turbo engines to run. Sooner or later this will happen so why not allow it now? Another problem is these import drivers probably know very little if any at all about stock or super stock. Talk to these people at local bracket races and try to get them interested and involved. They'd be a great addition to the stock/superstock classes.

Don,

You are not all there and your posts in this thread show that. Non USA cars in Stock and Super Stock. Give me a break. Do you know anything about these cars? Do you know anybody that does that can tech them? You are absolutely lost. Just my opinion-but for a long time Pontiac racer to say what you said you have lost your mind. I thought better of you than that. I don't anticipate posting on this thread any further as this thread takes the cake for talking out your rear end.

Steve

A long time fan of you and your efforts. Not anymore....

If it could have been done without many hardworking people losing their jobs, I would have soon they would have folded than to have another foreign country buying another chunk of America.

Twin turbo Supra

Nissan 370R

Subaru WR4

There's moe. Built to race, they wouldn't go any faster with a cross-over engine. Probably slow 'em down.

Don,
The post shows you are still a Drag Racer at Heart and you would like to see it live on. Problem is the life or death of S and SS racing will be based on the Racer population and their life expectancy. With the issues facing the Manufacturers, the economy and lets not forget the total arrogance of NHRA and its lack of touch the racing as you and I love it is about gone. Unfortunately your idea favors more of NHRAs dilution of competition,not strengthening it. More combos, less monitoring of tech, more out of game combos with bogus capability. More dis satisfaction with rules and action by NHRA.
NEXT idea?

Don,

This is why i wrote a letter to the editor of the now defunct "Rocky Mountain News" from Denver, Co., back in Dec. 1988. It contained my thoughts of the "Asian Invasion of The '80's", which apparently now has become the "Conquest of the 2000's"!!!??? Over my thoughts was a cartoon made by the "Christian Science Monitor", showing 2-3 Japanese warriors standing over a mound of rubble with a standing Japanese flag waving from a pole (much in the same way our American flag waved over a battle ground after being shown to have been raised by five of our US MARINES & A NAVY CORPSMAN, @ Iwo Jima, Japan back on Feb. 23, 1945), with the caption on a board below it "next stop DETROIT"!!! How can I not feel like this has happened with the following:

1. Most of our assets are tied up with Chinese currency support.

2. Most (far too many) of our products are made in a foreign country (such as China, Japan, Mexico).

3. We have a second language with regards to products and services (remember when Fram filters showed OEM part no's instead of now translating English into Spanish?).

All of this makes me sad to be an American, who lives amongst so many who've willingly sold us out to foreigners, thus making this idea of Don's seem to have some merit...

I feel like the American Indian man in the commercial who after seeing all of the polution from people throughout the cities and states of his once sacred land, stand and face a camera with a tear in his eye...

This outsourcing that has occurred over the past 20 years has been brought on not by foreign entities invading but by AMERICANS that are running these large companies so that large bonuses and perks can be provided to these despicable individuals. The thought of making a comfortable living while providing jobs for other Americans and legal immigrants has gone out the door with my grandparent’s generation.

GREED plain and simple ...
