all the talk on how to save class racing....

[mike koester 66 nova]

Another way to save the class racing we all love might be to support the local stock / ss combos some of the local drag strips and other start up groups are trying to organize. Why drive 200 miles , take off work 3 days, spend big money on a hotel room or an RV, and 170 dollars entry fees for little or no money when you could run down the street for 100 bucks and maybe a thousand to win. Encourage your local track or promoter to include a once a month or several times per year in their schedule. Promoters take heed. Instead of trying to re- invent stock / ss racing, try to organize, maybe a circut using several drag strips in your area, like the mannual sticks racers did, and the Goodguys with some of their classes. It always starts out small and then grows. Teching will always be a problem, even NHRA does not want to spend the money,and everyone is always bending the rules.
