The END of class racing will be when a SS/AH has to run a T/SA HEADS UP.Then,I would say that its over.Until then,if thats what they have to do,so be it.
About the only Super Stock/Stock combo in Division 3 is at the St Louis National Open in April.Almost every year,a STOCKER seems to win it!

Earlier this year at Mopars at Englishtown we had a S/SS/Nostalgia SS race.I had to run a car dialed
9.30 in the final.Well he was going 155 mph and I was going 95.Luckily I guessed right on my dial and won.But I hope that's the last time I have to see a car going past me at 60 mph.I have no cage,fire
jacket,pants.What if I get a hero who decides to lock 'em up going that fast?Remember NHRA's
motto "Dedicated to safety"?
S/SS combos are an alternative to divisionals and national events.If they ran combos at nationals why
bother to go through the trouble of having a legal car,there will be way less heads up races in that scenario.Like I said good bye to S/SS.Glorified (read hi dollar) bracket racing.
And you wouldn't have to lose sleep over not getting HP off your oldsmobile.

Ed -- You must be feeling better as you're getting back to your normal gloom and doom routine..........we all thought Stock was done in the Sixties when "they" made us take out our Hydro - Matics and replace them with Powerglides.........and yet we're still here .And again when they created Pure Stock from Junior Stock we thought it was the end ...and yet.....I could go on and on ........all this over a rumor .Welcome back Ed............

Why don't we just downsize ourselves out of existence, that will fix it for sure... Here’s one for you, why don’t we take S/SS/Comp/Supers and just combine them into an all run dial your own category? We can institute buy-backs and all will be peachy in the world… There will be no tech so if you want to run 50 cubic inches over or the latest noname aluminum heads go for it will all be legal including my G/SA Boss 429 Pinto wagon… See how easy, you can pick your own class too!

All I ever hear is doom and gloom and not one good suggestion for getting car counts up or fixing the obvious problems. Trying to please S/SS racers is like trying to herd cats. You guys are in fact your own worst enemy when it comes to Glendora. Every negative stereotype they have about you all is reinforced here everyday all day long.

This just about says it all. Its one reason I put the idea of starting a Stock, Super Stock association and a Class Nationals 2 with Alex that I mentioned earlier this year on hold. To many disgruntled racers on the forum.

Disgruntled isn't even the half of it. Blind stupidity and self interest is the real problem. There is no such thing as working together to save a way of racing that is more than just racing, it is a heritage and a philosophy about what it means to have the fastest G/Stock Automatic Boss 429 Pinto wagon on earth on a given day. That is all gone the way of pinks (what a joke) and bracket racing (even bigger joke) and it is all coming to a national event near you soon and the posts in this thread are the proof but the posters here all (except a few) “think they are saving racing”, my ***!… They are part of the problem not the solution!

I hear so many people scream that we need more “heads up” runs but as soon as they are faced with the opportunity to really do so the whining and bickering and sniveling starts about “so and so’s bla bla bla” and “it ain’t fair, bla bla bla” and “he’s got a yada yada yada”… if you don’t like the heat stay out of the fry’n pan and stay at your Saturday night track and support their bracket program where you belong! Need any proof? Look at where Top Stock is today!

All most all of this bickering and “we’re gona change the world” crap comes from a bunch of “newbie’s” and “wannabe’s” that think they world needs to do what they want because that is the way mommy raised them, they always got what they wanted and if they didn’t they cried and sniveled and then if they didn’t get what they wanted they cried and sniveled louder until mommy gave in. Most of the rest of them think that if they go buy every state of the art “trick of the week part” and spend more money than everybody else they should automatically be the fastest car out there and if they ain’t then everybody that is faster has to be cheating and the ones that ain’t just ain’t cheating enough! Baaa whaaaa… it’s not fair!! These guys are a bunch of lazy wimps that has had everything they have handed to them, they have never had to work for anything in their lives and they ain’t about to do it now especially not when they can whine and snivel about it…

Jackie, I couldn't agree more with your take on the situation.....To the point and I'm sad to say, the plain and simple truth.
