Horsepower Adjustments are Posted

The kids you're talking about do not have the money, the time, or the interest. We sell parts and services to them every day. They're not interested in class racing with all of the rules, all of the effort, and all of the expense. If they did want to run Stock or Super Stock, and they didn't want old iron, they'd be scarfing up all those LSx F bodies and building them, or the Mustangs, or the ones with money would get Corvettes. But they aren't. Because they don't want to spend the money, the time, or the effort, and they don't like all the rules. I hear it every day when we open the doors.

I posted on the wrong thread before, so I posted here. These kids are already going to the drag strip every week, might as well put something on the track from Detroit for them to see. The kids around here (Charlotte) spend a ton of money (or their parents') on their imports. So where do you think the next breed of S/SS racer is coming from?

I do not claim to know where the next generation is going to come from. I just know what those kids will tell you about NHRA (or even IHRA) class racing. They have no interest. And it isn't the cars that don't interest them. It is the rules, the format, and the structure. They like the "adrenaline drags" and all of that. They like nitrous, they like big cams, they like adding a supercharger to a normally aspirated car. They do not like RULES, they certainly do not like the idea of thrashing on the car, especially not teardown.

There was a pretty good indoor car show in Rosemont,IL a few weeks ago.I went there on a Saturday night and was surprised that there weren't that many people there.Hardly anyone under 40.
I really don't think that today's generation,for the most part,is in to fast cars.If they were,how many can really afford some of the things at the show that were on display,like this?

A lot of "kids" today can afford more than you think.
When I was a "kid" you could not wait to get out on your own.
Now "kids" live at home, and mommy and daddy don't take a penny of their hard earned money.
